 Polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and juvenile myositis are all autoimmune diseases, meaning the body's immune system is attacking the muscle.  While the immune system may also cause muscle damage in inclusion body myositis, this may not be cause of this disease. Although myositis is often treatable, these diseases are poorly understood and do not always completely respond to current medications. http://www.hopkinsmyositis.org/myositis/
