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.
一名患者出现不明原因发热达两个月。体格检查时，双侧小腿有压痛，促使进行诊断性肌肉活检以诊断结节性多动脉炎。结合该病例及既往报道病例对这种局限性结节性多动脉炎进行了综述。局限于肌肉的结节性多动脉炎似乎预后良好，仅使用类固醇就能迅速起效。
