Abstract
Substances known to be myotoxic are reviewed, including descriptions of the resultant clinical syndromes and the mechanisms important in their development. Certain host characteristics such as altered immune and metabolic regulation are known to modulate the effects of individual myotoxins, producing varied clinical syndromes. Evaluation procedures important in identifying a toxin-induced myopathy are described.Entities:
