Progressive proximal muscle weakness with subacute onset in an elderly patient: a case report

CONCLUSION: In this case, exclusion of inflammatory myopathies, metabolic muscle disorders and other neurological diseases is necessary for establishing a reliable diagnosis. In SINAM, simply discontinuing statin is often insufficient and aggressive immunosuppression or immunomodulation therapy is needed to achieve disease remission. This case aims to demonstrate that statins can induce serious muscular diseases that require aggressive immunosuppression.PMID:36544374 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7601.2021276
