title: Histological abnormalities in muscle from patients with certain types of fibrositis.
abstract: In muscle biopsy specimens from fibrositis patients and healthy subjects no differences in electrical charges on the contractile proteins were detected with a microelectrode technique. However, microscopical examination of fibrositis muscle showed muscle fibres connected by a network of reticular or elastic fibres which are absent in normal muscle and which may be the cause of the disorder.
