Which of the following statements is true regarding the skeletal muscle biopsy image shown above?
CD20+ B cells are the predominant inflammatory component
CD8+ T cells are the predominant inflammatory component
Histologic findings are classic for dermatomyositis
IVIG is the first line therapy
Presence of rimmed vacuoles favors polymyositis
B. CD8+ T cells are the predominant inflammatory component
Infantile myopathy: Most fibres are small and round with a few massively hypertrophic fibres
