A case of recurrent polymyalgia rheumatica-like complications with pregnancy
May 27th, 2009 | 
Author: Abstract We encountered a 26-year-old Japanese woman with recurrent episodes of polymyalgia rheumatica-like symptoms associated with
pregnancy. At a 13-week pregnancy, she was admitted to our outpatient clinic, complaining of myalgia on both thighs, shoulders
and upper limbs. Laboratory examinations of blood yielded normal creatine kinase and mild elevation of erythrocyte sedimentation
rate. After administration of oral prednisolone (10 mg/day) was begun, her symptoms were gradually resolved by 1 week. Further
epidemiologic studies should be needed.
