Abstract
Polymyositis is a rare disease from the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies group, characterized by the appearance in the skeletal muscle of an inflammatory process that causes progressive weakness in the proximal muscles of the limbs. We report the case of a 13-year-old female known with polymyositis, whose evolution is characterized by several outbursts of the disease despite the administration of immunosuppressive therapy.
