Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are rare diseases that cause muscle weakness and inflammation, mostly affecting the proximal muscles (the ones closest to the center of the body).
- A 7-year-old boy showed signs of muscle pain and weakness, and after tests, he was diagnosed with Juvenile Polymyositis and treated with medication and rehabilitation, which helped him recover.
- Three years later, he had a relapse with muscle weakness and skin issues, showing how important it is to diagnose and treat IIM early to avoid complications.
