Immune-mediated necrotising myopathy (IMNM) can be associated with autoantibodies to 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (anti-HMGCR). We present a case of a man in his 60s with a 13-year history of relapsing anti-HMGCR-positive IMNM, intermittently partially responsive to various treatments including corticosteroids, methotrexate, mycophenolate, intravenous immunoglobulin, abatacept and rituximab. After a repeat presentation with severe weakness, plasmapheresis was commenced, resulting in rapid and significant improvement in muscle strength and biochemical markers, which was sustained for several months.

Background: Metastatic spine tumor surgery (MSTS) is often complex and extensive leading to significant blood loss. Allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT) is the mainstay of blood replenishment but with immune-mediated postoperative complications. Alternative blood management techniques (salvaged blood transfusion [SBT]) allow us to overcome such complications.
