| Abstract |
| Abstract We report a case of systemic sclerosis
(SSc) associated with inclusion body myositis (IBM). A 58-year-old
man was diagnosed as having SSc at the age of 35 years, and had been
suffering from chronic progressive weakness and atrophy of the limb
muscles. A diagnosis of IBM was established by muscle biopsy. Although
most such patients show a poor response to corticosteroids and immunosupressants,
glucocorticoid therapy was effective in the present case. |
