Inflammatory Muscle Diseases
Inflammatory Muscle Diseases (Myopathies) are a group of autoimmune disorders that cause chronic muscle inflammation, weakness, and pain. These conditions occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks muscle fibers, leading to progressive muscle damage and reduced strength. The most common types include Polymyositis, Dermatomyositis, and Inclusion Body Myositis.

Causes and Risk Factors
While the exact cause is unknown, inflammatory muscle diseases are thought to result from autoimmune dysfunction, genetic predisposition, or viral triggers. They are more common in middle-aged adults and women, and sometimes occur alongside other autoimmune connective tissue diseases.
