Summary Epidemiology The estimated annual incidence has been reported to be between 1/250,000 and 1/130,000 new cases/year and prevalence 1/14,000. It is a rare disorder that may be over-diagnosed because of overlap with other myopathies. [orpha.net]

Epidemiology Frequency Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are relatively rare diseases, with an incidence in the United States that ranges from 0.5-8.4 cases per million population. [emedicine.medscape.com]
