Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, mainly polymyositis (PM) may occur in the course of several autoimmune diseases. The overlapping forms of myositis, when the patient also meets the criteria for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), affect 3%-5% of myositis patients [1]. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report on the overlapping form of RA, antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and the serological subgroup of PM, the antisynthetase syndrome (ASS).
特发性炎性肌病,主要是多发性肌炎(PM)可能发生在多种自身免疫性疾病过程中。当患者同时符合类风湿关节炎(RA)标准时,肌炎的重叠形式影响3%-5%的肌炎患者[1]。据我们所知,这是关于RA、抗磷脂综合征(APS)与PM血清学亚组即抗合成酶综合征(ASS)重叠形式的首篇报道。
