Pemberton1has remarked that it is probably one of the most widespread and frequently occurring conditions to which human beings are subject, excepting mild infections of the upper respiratory tract. Quite in contrast to the above statement is the fact that inflammatory muscular diseases of a generalized nature, either acute, subacute, or chronic, are exceedingly rare. In the acute and subacute group four types are recognized: primary suppurative myositis which is only occasionally generalized; myositis,...References1 PEMBERTON R: Diseases of muscles, Blumer's Bedside Diagnosis, 1929, W.
