Polymyositis is an autoimmune disease characterized by muscle weakness, muscle soreness, etc. At this stage, the etiology of polymyositis is not particularly clear. Patients mainly manifest as the proximal end of symmetrical limbs., progressive weakness in the neck muscles, throat muscles, accompanied by obvious tenderness and pain, in addition to elevated serum enzymes. Generally subacute onset, many patients will be associated with some autoimmune diseases, such as lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis and so on. At present, the principle of personalized treatment is mainly adopted for multiple dermatitis. The first choice of drug is glucocorticoid. Severe patients need to use methylprednisolone. Generally speaking, the symptoms will be obviously relieved after 2~3 cycles of oral administration. Some patients are easy to relapse, so they need to use cyclophosphamide, etc., even add immunoglobulin and carry out rehabilitation training at the same time.
