Abstract
Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is a slowly progressive myopathy that has not been reported to affect respiratory muscles. It is often refractory to treatment and a muscle biopsy specimen is necessary for the diagnosis. This is a report of a patient with IBM who quickly progressed to respiratory muscle failure requiring intubation.Entities:
