It can often be treated by drugs like corticosteroids or immunosuppressants. Inclusion body myositis is a slowly progressive disease that produces weakness of hand grip and straightening of the knees. No effective treatment is known. (M61) Myositis ossificans
(M62.89) Rhabdomyolysis and (R82.1) myoglobinuriasThe Food and Drug Administration is recommending that physicians restrict prescribing high-dose Simvastatin (Zocor, Merck) to patients, given an increased risk of muscle damage. The FDA drug safety communication stated that physicians should limit using the 80-mg dose unless the patient has already been taking the drug for 12 months and there is no evidence of myopathy. "Simvastatin 80 mg should not be started in new patients, including patients already taking lower doses of the drug," the agency states. Statin-associated autoimmune myopathy

Differential diagnosis
At birth

None as systemic causes; mainly hereditaryOnset in childhood

Inflammatory myopathies – dermatomyositis, polymyositis (rarely)
Infectious myopathies
Endocrine and metabolic disorders – hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hypercalcemiaOnset in adulthood
Inflammatory myopathies – polymyositis, dermatomyositis, inclusion body myositis, viral (HIV)
Infectious myopathies
Endocrine myopathies – thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pituitary disorders
Toxic myopathies – alcohol, corticosteroids, narcotics, colchicines, chloroquine
Critical illness myopathy
Metabolic myopathies
Paraneoplastic myopathy

Treatments
Because different types of myopathies are caused by many different pathways, there is no single treatment for myopathy. Treatments range from treatment of the symptoms to very specific cause-targeting treatments.
Diagnosis of DAH is often given following observation of a patient presenting with hemoptysis, anemia, and cough, along with a chest X-ray showing alveolar infiltrates in the lungs, which are areas of air space in the lungs that are opacified and of higher density that normal, usually indicating that they are filled with a substance such as pus, blood, or another fluid. Incidence
The outcome of treatment is dependent on causality. Pulmonary Hemorrhage is present in 7 to 10% of neonatal autopsies, but up to 80% of autopsies of very preterm infants. The incidence is 1 in 1,000 live births. Pulmonary hemorrhage has a high mortality rate of 30% to 40%. See also
