P076 Anti-HMGCR-associated necrotising myopathy: atypical clinical course of a rare condition Open
Introduction Autoimmune inflammatory myopathy is a rare condition characterised by proximal muscle weakness and elevated muscle enzymes. Autoimmune necrotising myopathy is the second commonest subclass of inflammatory myopathies (INM). The…

P079 A challenging case of anti-SRP-associated immune-mediated necrotising myopathy in a young patient Open
Introduction Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are a heterogeneous disease group characterised by a subacute course of muscle weakness and inflammatory muscle changes that are presumed to be caused by autoimmune mechanisms. Immune-…

Evaluation of adjunctive mycophenolate for large vessel giant cell arteritis Open
Objectives GCA patients with large vessel involvement (LV-GCA) experience greater CS requirements and higher relapse rates compared with classical cranial GCA. Despite the distinct disease course, interventions in LV-GCA have yet to be inv…

Stratified glucocorticoid monotherapy is safe and effective for most cases of giant cell arteritis Open
Objectives High-dose glucocorticoids anchor standard care in GCA but are associated with significant toxicity. We aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a stratified approach to glucocorticoid tapering. The strategy aggressively…

Intravenous pulse methylprednisolone for induction of remission in severe ANCA associated Vasculitis: a multi-center retrospective cohort study Open
The results of this study suggest that addition of pulse intravenous MP to standard therapy for remission induction in severe AAV may not confer clinical benefit and may be associated with more episodes of infection and higher incidence of…
