  • Title: Inclusion body myositis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
    Author: Yood RA, Smith TW.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1985 Jun; 12(3):568-70. PubMed ID: 2995660.
    Abstract:
    Inclusion body myositis (IBM) has been recognized as a distinct type of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. Previous reports have emphasized the absence of immunologic abnormalities and lack of response to corticosteroid therapy in patients with IBM. We report a case of IBM associated with systemic lupus erythematosus and modest response of the myopathy to corticosteroid therapy. The clinical and immunologic features of IBM are more diverse than previously appreciated.
