Systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs) are comprised by a variety of diseases that may affect several organs and systems, including joints, muscles, and nerves. Despite drug treatment and guidance on performing regular physical exercises, the high frequency of fatigue, motor deficits, and chronic pain in these patients is remarkable. These factors, in turn, impair functional capac…
Systemic autoimmune myopathies (SAMs) are rare rheumatic diseases characterized clinically by progressive, symmetrical and predominantly proximal muscle limb weakness. SAMs may also affect joints, lung, heart and gastrointestinal tract. Despite drug treatment and guidance on performing regular physical exercises, the high frequency of fatigue and chronic pain in these patients is remarkab…
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (MII) are rare systemic autoimmune diseases associated with high morbidity and functional disability. They can be classified as dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), inclusion body myositis (IBM), among others. Patients have primarilt skeletal muscle involvement, accompanied by decreased muscle strength, mu…
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are a heterogeneous group of rare chronic systemic autoimmune myopathies associated with high morbidity and functional disability. This groups is subdivided into dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), inclusion body myositis (IBM), juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), autoimmune necrotizing myopathy, among others. These diseases exhibit specific epidemiolog…

Systemic Primary Vasculitis (SPV) refers to rare and heterogeneous diseases that present with blood vessel inflammation as their main feature. In addition, because of these diseases' chronic systemic manifestation, drug treatment, and/or comorbidities, patients with SPV have reductions in their quality of life, functional capability, aerobic capacity, and performance of activities of dail…
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a primary systemic vasculitis associated with the anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA), characterized by the classic triad of involvement of the upper and lower airways, and kidneys. Similar to other systemic rheumatic diseases, patients with GPA have, among their systemic symptoms, fatigue. Moreover, some individuals, even after diseas…
Dermatomyositis is a rare systemic autoimmune myopathy, characterized by primary involvement of the skin and striated muscle that leads to the functional disability with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Several myositis-specific autoantibodies, including anti-Jo-1, anti-Mi-2, anti-TIF-1³, anti-NXP-2, anti-MDA-5, and anti-SAE allow to characterize it phenotypically, as well as how t…
