Deep venous thrombosis in an individual with statin-exposed anti-SRP myopathy: case report and review of literature
Abstract Background Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is characterized by proximal muscle weakness, elvated serum muscle enzyme levels, myopathic electromyography findings, and necrotic muscle fiber with few inflammatory cell infiltration in muscle biopsies. Statins, the first line drug to...
