RESUMO
A polimiosite (PM) é uma doença sistêmica do grupo das miopatias inflamatórias idiopáticas, clinicamente caracterizada por fraqueza muscular proximal e simétrica. Há relatos na literatura de PM associada a neoplasias, doenças autoimunes e infecções virais. Entretanto, a associação entre PM e nefropatia não é frequente. Descrevemos o caso de um paciente com polimiosite que evoluiu com síndrome nefrótica devido à presença de glomerulonefrite mesangial.
ABSTRACT
Polymyositis (PM) is a systemic disease of the idiopathic inflammatory myopathy group, clinically characterized by symmetric and proximal muscle weakness. There are reports in literature of PM associated with malignancies, autoimmune diseases, and viral infections. However, the association between PM and nephropathy is not common. We describe a case report of a patient with polymyositis who developed nephrotic syndrome due to mesangial glomerulonephritis.
