Abstract
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathy consists of dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), necrotizing autoimmune myositis (NAM) and sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM). The specific etiologies of these muscle diseases are not well known and are thought to involve components of the humoral and cellular immune system as well as other nonimmune factors. A case of NAM who was HIV-positive was reported. His muscle biopsy was highly suggestive of NAM but creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) was not favoring the diagnosis. After receiving IVIG pulse therapy, his weakness improved up to that much that he returned back to his work of auto rickshaw driving.
