Stoltenburg-Didinger G et al. - Typical findings include the deposition of 5b-9 complement components (membrane attack complex) at the capillaries, perifascicular inflammatory infiltrates composed predominantly of CD4+ T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes and plasmacytoid dendritic cells, endothelial swelling and damage, loss of capillaries with perifascicular atrophy and tubuloreticular endothelial inclusions on electron-microscopic examination. Detection of myositis-specific autoantibodies is especially helpful in the diagnosis of early and atypical cases with features of overlapping disease.
