Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is classified in the group of primary myositis (or inflammatory myopathies) characterised by inflammation of the striated muscles. It is a very progressive disease with muscular weakness that predominates in proximal muscles, although distal muscles can be frequently affected, along with asymmetrical and selective muscle inflammation.
