Histological abnormalities in muscle from patients with certain types of fibrositis.

Abstract

In muscle biopsy specimens from fibrositis patients and healthy subjects no differences in electrical charges on the contractile proteins were detected with a microelectrode technique. However, microscopical examination of fibrositis muscle showed muscle fibres connected by a network of reticular or elastic fibres which are absent in normal muscle and which may be the cause of the disorder.
