OBJECTIVES: Inflammatory myositides are rare chronic disorders which may be either isolated or associated with other conditions such as connective tissue diseases or neoplasia. A large variety of autoantibodies can be detected in patients with myositis, some of which have a diagnostic and/or a prognostic value.
