摘要
Polymyalgia rheumatic (PMR) associated amyloidosis is an extremely rare condition that can be rapidly progressive with high morbidity and mortality and management is challenging. Tocilizumab is a monoclonal anti-IL-6 receptor antibody, which is in the therapeutic arsenal of PMR. The efficiency of tocilizumab in improvement of PMR activity score and decreasing steroid dose is well-established, while efficiency in PMR-associated amyloidosis has not been published. Herein, we reported a PMR patient with amyloid A amyloidosis who was treated effectively with tocilizumab.
