In a longitudinal prospective study a muscle biopsy was taken from 30/32 (33%) of the 98 patients who developed critical illness polyneuropathy and myopathy (CIPNM). Neuropathic changes were found in 37%, myopathic in 40%, and a combination in 23% of the biopsies. The immunohistopathology showed macrophages and Th-cells in 40% and 60% of the muscle biopsies respectively. Small mainly perivascular infiltrates contained macrophages and Th-cells. ICAM-1, VCAM and MAC were found on the vascular endothelium in 58%, 53% and 79% respectively. In all biopsies there was an upregulation of both HLA-I and HLA-DR. Proinflammatory cytokines and TNFalphaR75 were also produced locally (IL-1beta in 71%, IFN-gamma in 40%, IL-12 in 73%, TNFalphaR75 in 90%). The anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 was simultaneously expressed in 96% of the biopsies. HLA-DR, TNFalphaR75 and IL-10 differed significantly when compared with control muscle biopsies. Our data provide evidence that small numbers of activated leukocytes producing both pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines infiltrate skeletal muscle of CIPNM patients. We propose that the local balance of leukocyte activities is of importance in the pathophysiology of muscle weakness in CIPNM.
