Abstract

We report a man with chronic fatigue, multiple autoimmune disorders, and a muscle biopsy consistent with macrophagic myofasciitis. This rare and recently described muscle disorder is seen in patients exposed to vaccinations with aluminum hydroxide adjuvant. This case highlights the relationship between macrophagic myofasciitis and autoimmunity.
