Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis are often connected with autoimmune diseases and are closely linked with specific autoantibodies. Clinical manifestations are mild in correlation with clinical picture ofmyositis related to malignancy. Pulmonary complications are main cause of mortality in overlap syndromes with autoimmune diseases. Infection, cardiovascular complications and underlying malignancy provide greater mortality risk.
多发性肌炎和皮肌炎常与自身免疫性疾病相关，且与特定自身抗体密切相关。临床表现与与恶性肿瘤相关的肌炎临床表现相比相对较轻。肺部并发症是自身免疫性疾病重叠综合征死亡的主要原因。感染、心血管并发症和潜在恶性肿瘤带来更高的死亡风险。
