Between 1976 and 1983, the authors studied 50 new patients affected with periodic disease. 16 of them-mean age: 29-presented muscular manifestations. They may be grouped into two clinical aspects: muscular pain and contractures. The authors consider that these symptoms, first described in 1945, are an inherent part of the clinical picture of the disease. They discuss their relationship with periarteritis nodosa and remind the fact that their pathogenesis remains unknown.
1976年至1983年间，作者研究了50例患有周期性疾病的新患者。其中16例——平均年龄：29岁——出现了肌肉表现。这些表现可分为两个临床方面：肌肉疼痛和挛缩。作者认为，这些于1945年首次描述的症状是该疾病临床症状的固有组成部分。他们讨论了这些症状与结节性多动脉炎的关系，并提醒人们其发病机制仍然未知这一事实。
