Increased muscle interstitial levels of inflammatory cytokines in polymyalgia rheumatica

Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskriftTidsskriftartikelfagfællebedømt

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is characterized by aching of the proximal muscles and increased blood levels of markers of inflammation. Despite the muscle complaints, the current view is that symptoms are caused by inflammation in synovial structures. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the disease mechanisms in symptomatic muscles by measuring interstitial levels of cytokines before and after prednisolone treatment.
