Inflammatory Myopathy
Inflammatory Myopathy is a group of rare diseases characterized by muscle inflammation and weakness. It primarily affects the skeletal muscles, which are responsible for movement. Symptoms often include muscle pain, fatigue, and difficulty in performing daily activities.
The exact cause of Inflammatory Myopathy is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve an autoimmune response, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own muscle tissues. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests, imaging studies, and sometimes a muscle biopsy to confirm inflammation and rule out other conditions.
