Abstract

Here we present a clinical case of 2 year-misdiagnosed polymyositis (PM), where patient underwentunnecessary invasive procedure while he developed progressive muscular weakness. Erroneous diagnosiscould have been correctly addressed by evaluation of serum Creatine kinase (CK), a cheap and easy toperform lab exam.
