Abstract
Background and purpose: Advances in serological tests are transforming the classification of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). The new criteria suggested by the 119th European Neuromuscular Center international workshop divide IIM cases into four main diseases according to clinical and pathological findings, adding immune-mediated necrotizing myositis and nonspecific myositis to the classic categories of polymyositis and dermatomyositis.
Methods: Seventy one cases of IIM with sufficient available clinical and pathological data were reviewed to be reclassified according to the new criteria.
Results: Most of the cases previously classified as polymyositis (77.8%, 35/45) were reclassified as immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy. The results of myositis-specific antibodies matched well with the new clinicopathological classification.
Conclusions: This new clinicopathological classification for IIM in combination with serological test results could be applied to our previous case series. Adoption of the new criteria will lead to a better understanding of the disease and hence new therapeutic insights.
期刊介绍:
The JCN aims to publish the cutting-edge research from around the world. The JCN covers clinical and translational research for physicians and researchers in the field of neurology. Encompassing the entire neurological diseases, our main focus is on the common disorders including stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson''s disease, dementia, multiple sclerosis, headache, and peripheral neuropathy. Any authors affiliated with an accredited biomedical institution may submit manuscripts of original articles, review articles, and letters to the editor. The JCN will allow clinical neurologists to enrich their knowledge of patient management, education, and clinical or experimental research, and hence their professionalism.
