Myositis

Myositis is a group of diseases that cause weakening and pain in the muscles, which usually progresses over time. It is usually caused by a problem with your immune system, which can sometimes mistakenly attack healthy tissue. As one of the top centres for neurology in Hyderabad, we hope to guide our patients to recovery through advanced treatments and comprehensive care that allows them to return to life with good health and satisfaction.

  • Increased muscle weakness
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of balance
  • Difficulty lifting balance
  • Muscle weakness
  • Pain and weakness in the joints

Types of Myositis

These are the recognised types of myositis.

Polymyositis

This type of myositis is more common in women that typically affects the shoulders, hips and thigh muscles.

Dermatomyositis

This type of myositis affects the muscles and causes a rash, affecting women and children.

Inclusion body myositis (IBM)

This type of myositis causes weakness in the thigh muscles, forearms and muscles below the knees, resulting in inflammation.

Viral Myositis

In this condition, viral infections such as Influenza, Epstein-Barr Virus and coxsackie virus cause muscle inflammation, resulting in muscle weakness, pain and stiffness.

Drug-induced myositis

This type of myositis is caused by the side effects of certain medications such as cholesterol-lowering drugs, antibiotics, and antipsychotics.
