Neurol 47:119-123, Rose,M.R.,et al, 1996
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We describe two patients with sustained myoglobinuria that did not resolve with supportive treatment.After we established a diagnosis of dermatolyositis and started treatment with corticosteroids,there was rapid resolution of the myoglobinuria.Well-documented cases of inflammatory myopathy causing myoglobinuria are rare,but their prompt recognition has important therapeutic implications.
