Abstract
La polimialgia reumática (PMR) es una enfermedad inflamatoria que afecta generalmente a personas mayores de 50 años y se caracteriza por dolor y entumecimiento doloroso de los músculos proximales junto con la elevación de la velocidad de sedimentación globular en la 1º hora. Si bien cada vez se diagnostica más frecuentemente, la PMR sigue siendo un diagnóstico de exclusión y los criterios diagnósticos propuestos no son universalmente aceptados. Si bien es reconocida la asociación de PMR con arteritis de células gigantes (ACG), la biopsia sistemática de la arteria temporal no está indicada en los pacientes con PMR que no presentan síntomas de ACG. El diagnóstico precoz y el tratamiento con esteroides en dosis bajas provocan una mejoría muy importante en los síntomas y la capacidad funcional de los pacientes con PMR. El tratamiento suele durar entre 12 y 24 meses y un alto porcentaje de los pacientes logra la suspensión definitiva del mismo.
Polymyalgia rheumatica is an inflammatory disorder that usually affects persons over the age of 50 causing proximal muscle pain and stiffness, and an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Although increasingly recognized in this age group, it remains a diagnosis of exclusion and although several diagnostic criteria have been proposed, none has been clearly accepted. While polymyalgia rheumatica is associated with giant cell arteritis, obtaining a temporal artery biopsy is not recommended in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica without symptoms of giant cell arteritis. Early diagnosis and low dose corticosteroid therapy improve patients' clinical features and functional status. Treatment usually lasts between 12 and 24 months and the majority of patients manage to discontinue treatment completely.
