An elderly woman with chronic ulcerative colitis who developed proximal muscle weakness, increased serum creatine phosphokinase activity, and histological and electromyographic abnormalities characteristic of polymyositis is described. Treatment with corticosteroids and 5-acetylsalicylic acid was followed by a remission in bowel symptoms, improvement in muscle power, and reversal of electromyographic changes. An autoimmune link between the two disorders seems likely.
描述了一名患有慢性溃疡性结肠炎的老年女性,她出现了近端肌无力、血清肌酸磷酸激酶活性升高以及具有多发性肌炎特征的组织学和肌电图异常。使用皮质类固醇和5-乙酰水杨酸治疗后,肠道症状缓解,肌肉力量改善,肌电图变化逆转。这两种疾病之间似乎存在自身免疫联系。
