Myositis

Myositis, also known as idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, is a heterogeneous autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic inflammation of the musculoskeletal system and subsequent muscle weakness. The skin, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, joints, and heart are commonly affected (Lundberg IE et al. (2018)). Symptoms include general fatigue, swelling, and muscle pain. There is a large overlap in symptoms with systemic sclerosis (Ashton C et al. (2021)).
