AB  - Both  diseases  belong  to  a  group  of  connective  tissue  disorders  known  as  idiopathic  inflammatory  myopathies.  They  are  a  multisystem  disease  characterized  by  necrotizing  inflammatory  myopathy  of  striated  muscles  and  a  skin  rash,  both  of  unknown  etiology.  Dermatomyositis  is  a  form  of  polymyositis  accompanied  by  distinctive  skin  inflammation  and  rashes,  muscle  weakness,  and  inflammatory  myopathy.  Polymyositis  is  characterized  by  inflammation  and  degeneration  of  muscles,  especially  the  proximal  musculature,  flexion  of  the  neck  and  torso.
