Myopathies produced by drugs are of vital concern and often confused with other more frequently diagnosed causes, such as the inflammatory myopathies of polymyositis/dermatomyositis and myositis secondary to toxic agents, metabolic and endocrine abnormalities, genetic predisposition, malignancies, and infections, particularly viruses. The drug-induced causes of myopathy warrant special emphasis because they are often overlooked, resulting in misdiagnosis and improper care.
药物所致的肌病至关重要，且常与其他更常见的诊断病因相混淆，比如多肌炎/皮肌炎等炎性肌病以及继发于毒性物质、代谢和内分泌异常、遗传易感性、恶性肿瘤及感染（尤其是病毒感染）的肌炎。药物诱发肌病的病因值得特别强调，因为它们常常被忽视，从而导致误诊和不当治疗。
