Symptoms and treatment of myositis in children

All the children were in good health. At the beginning of the disease, they had symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, such as fever, runny nose, nasal obstruction, and paroxysmal cough. The course of the disease was 3-7 days, or diarrhea. When the children woke up at night, they suddenly developed muscle pain in both legs in the morning, It often appears after exercise and can be relieved after rest.

MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK? MB), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK? MB) and creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK? MB) were higher than those of control group α?
