Polymyositis associated with jejunoileal bypass.

S T Persellin, W L Griffing, C J Michet

    The Journal of Rheumatology
    |August 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    A patient with polymyositis, an inflammatory muscle disease, was found to have a functioning jejunoileal bypass. This unusual association suggests potential shared disease pathways between connective tissue syndromes and jejunoileal bypass surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Connective tissue syndromes are occasionally reported in patients with small bowel bypass procedures.
    • The specific association between polymyositis and jejunoileal bypass is rare.

    Observation:

    • This report details a case of polymyositis in a patient with a functioning jejunoileal bypass.

    Findings:

    • The co-occurrence of polymyositis and jejunoileal bypass is unusual.
    • Potential shared pathogenetic mechanisms may link these conditions.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a rare but potential complication or association following jejunoileal bypass surgery.
    • Further research may elucidate the underlying mechanisms connecting inflammatory myopathies and intestinal bypass surgery.
