Four patients with chronic focal polymyositis are described. Treatment with steroids appeared to halt clinical progression. The clinical features in all four cases were so strikingly similar as to constitute a syndrome which can be mistaken for muscular dystrophy or spinal muscular atrophy unless investigated fully.
本文描述了4例慢性局灶性多发性肌炎患者。使用类固醇治疗似乎可阻止临床进展。所有4例患者的临床特征极为相似,足以构成一种综合征,若不进行全面检查,可能会被误诊为肌肉萎缩症或脊髓性肌萎缩症。
