Overview

The underlying pathophysiology of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) remains unknown.[1] It has been hypothesized that genetic and environmental factors are implicated, particularly due to the seasonal and geographical differences in the prevalence of this disease.[2][3][4] It has also been hypothesized that PMR is associated with infections such as parainfluenza virus type 1,[5] mycoplasma pneumoniae, chlamydia pneumoniae, and parvovirus B19.[6] In addition, histological exam of synovial biopsies of affected individuals revealed mild synovitis with predominance of CD4 T cells and macrophages.
