Acute inflammatory myopathy complicating sarcoidosis is rare, and its prognosis and appropriate therapy have not been defined well. We describe a patient with chronic sarcoidosis who, during a 3-month period, developed an acute proximal myopathy associated with marked elevations in creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and extensive granulomatous inflammation on muscle biopsy. High-dose corticosteroids were dramatically effective in inducing remission, with resolution of all signs and symptoms of the myopathy and normalization of CPK.
结节病并发急性炎症性肌病较为罕见,其预后及恰当治疗方法尚未明确界定。我们描述了一名患有慢性结节病的患者,在3个月期间,出现急性近端肌病,肌酸磷酸激酶(CPK)显著升高,肌肉活检显示广泛的肉芽肿性炎症。大剂量皮质类固醇在诱导缓解方面效果显著,肌病的所有体征和症状均消失,CPK恢复正常。
