    Abstract:
    Immunogenic inflammatory myopathies are a heterogeneous group of acquired muscle disorders. Clinical and morphological characteristics are on one side muscle weakness, on the other side inflammatory infiltrates in muscle biopsy. Three main groups of different pathogenesis and course can be subdivided: The treatment of inflammatory myopathies is predominantly based on empiric data. Baseline drugs are Corticosteroids and Immunosuppressives. High dose intravenous Immunoglobulins (IVIG) are an important additional therapeutic possibility, especially in inclusion body myositis.
