Acute viral-induced myopathy following COVID-19

Coronavirus disease 2019 can cause acute, self-limiting viral myopathy that mimics autoimmune myositis with positive anti-Mi-2 even in previously healthy individuals.Careful exclusion of neuropathic and autoimmune causes prevents misdiagnosis, overtreatment, and avoiding unnecessary invasive tests.Supportive management with hydration, analgesia, and physiotherapy leads to full recovery.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 can cause acute, self-limiting viral myopathy that mimics autoimmune myositis with positive anti-Mi-2 even in previously healthy individuals.Careful exclusion of neuropathic and autoimmune causes prevents misdiagnosis, overtreatment, and avoiding unnecessary invasive tests.Supportive management with hydration, analgesia, and physiotherapy leads to full recovery.
