ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT We cover intensive care unit-acquired neuromuscular disorders associated with coronavirus disease 2019. Outcomes may be worse than expected in these patients, and there is some evidence that coronavirus disease 2019 causes myopathy directly. Corticosteroid regimens in Duchenne muscular dystrophy are addressed including outcomes in pulmonary and cardiac function. A recent article notes a continued diagnostic delay in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. An interesting report of a Canary Islands cohort of patients with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy is discussed. Features and clinical pearls related to a series of patients with limb-girdle muscle dystrophy R12 (anoctaminopathy) and a misdiagnosis of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy are provided. The last section on autoimmune myopathy includes articles on clinical and pathologic features associated with myositis-specific antibodies and dermatomyositis, the epidemiology of immune-mediated necrotizing myopathies (IMNMs) in Olmsted County, Minnesota, and features of a German cohort of hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase-associated IMNM. A recent article proposes the benefit of early intravenous immunoglobulin use for adults with IMNM. We also highlight a report of 2 unusual cases of antisignal recognition particle myopathy presenting with asymmetric distal weakness.
