Kucharz2012 %T Polymyositis, dermatomyositis and inclusion body myositis %X Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy is a group of diseases of unknown aetiology and probably autoimmune pathogenesis (Tables I, II). Treatment of the diseases is divided into the following stages: initial phase, intermediate phase, and long-lasting therapy. Glucocorticoids and other immunosuppressive drugs (commonly azathioprine and methotrexate) are applied for management. It is important to evaluate activity of the disease, effectiveness of the treatment and occurrence of adverse reactions. Inclusion body myositis is resistant to glucocorticoid therapy. %A J.
