Inclusion body myositis in association with vitamin B12 deficiency and Sjögren's syndrome.
Autoimmune disorders are very rarely associated with inclusion body myositis (IBM). We describe a patient with IBM in association with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and Vitamin B12 deficiency. B12 deficiency has not been reported in SS, and this deficiency may explain the neuropathic features of some patients with IBM.
