Article Abstract
The authors describe the clinical, histologic, and serologic findings of a patient with necrotizing myositis of the extraocular muscles in the setting of antisynthetase syndrome, as well as subsequent management. This is the first case in the literature of a systemic necrotizing myositis to have associated ophthalmic findings.

Department of Regional Health Research, University of Southern Denmark.
Introduction: Erysipelas is a common disease in the emergency department, whereas necrotising soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are rare but more severe. The study aimed to investigate the prevalence, incidence, population-based incidence rate, one-year mortality and clinical presentation of erysipelas and NSTIs, and the aetiology, treatment and recurrence of erysipelas.
Methods: This was a population-based cohort study including acute non-trauma patients ≥ 18 years old with erysipelas or NSTIs from the Region of Southern Denmark in the period from 1 January 2016 to 19 March 2018.

Hypervirulent is a recently identified pathotype characterized by high virulence and rapid dissemination. It is associated with invasive infections at multiple anatomical sites, including liver abscesses, necrotizing fasciitis, meningitis, myositis, and endophthalmitis. It has emerged as a significant threat to public health due to its aggressive clinical course and high mortality rate.

Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is an emerging and severe form of myositis. Most patients experience persistent muscle weakness or recurrent attacks within their lifetime. The previous view suggests that autoimmune and complement activation play a key role in muscle damage, and aggressive immunotherapy may benefit patients.
