Autoantibody diagnostics in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy

© 2024. The Author(s)..

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) is a group of rare and heterogeneous systemic diseases that manifest not only in the muscles but also in the skin, joints, and lungs. Initial symptoms can be isolated and variable and thus the diagnosis poses challenges to various specialist groups. As autoantibodies are sometimes the only specific findings that lead to the diagnosis and appropriate treatment, basic knowledge of them is essential. This article explains the available test systems, names the clinical indications necessary for the initiation of autoantibody diagnostics, provides information on the etymology, antigens, synonyms, and first descriptors, describes indirect immunofluorescence on HEp‑2 cells induced by myositis antibodies, and provides clinical-serological associations. The comparison of the autoantibody findings with the clinical symptoms and laboratory findings enables the identification of false positive or false negative laboratory findings in the sense of a plausibility check.
