title: Childhood onset inclusion body myositis mimicking limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.
abstract: Inclusion body myositis was initially recognized in patients with "steroid-resistant polymyositis" and subsequently in patients with other immune-mediated disorders. The finding of inclusion body myositis in a patient diagnosed for 30 years as having limb-girdle muscular dystrophy suggests yet another patient pool that may harbor this entity.
