Dermatomyositis-like syndrome caused by trichinae. Report of two cases.

Abstract:

We report 2 cases of trichinosis in which the clinical features resembled dermatomyositis. In both cases, however, the diagnosis was established histologically by demonstrating trichina larvae in the patients' muscle biopsies. Indirect immunofluorescence and counterimmunoelectrophoresis techniques were used to confirm the diagnosis serologically.
