  • Title: Polyarteritis manifesting as calf myositis and fever.
    Author: Ferreiro JE, Saldana MJ, Azevedo SJ.
    Journal: Am J Med; 1986 Feb; 80(2):312-5. PubMed ID: 2868655.
    Abstract:
    A patient presented with fever of undetermined cause for two months. On physical examination, bilateral calf tenderness was elicited, prompting a diagnostic muscle biopsy for polyarteritis. This limited form of polyarteritis is reviewed in the context of this case and previously reported cases. Polyarteritis limited to muscle seems to have a good prognosis and responds readily to steroids alone.
