Women With Pregnancy-related Polymyotis and High Serum CK Levels in the Newborn
Neurol 58:482-484, Messina,S.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Two previously healthy women developed an inflammatory myopathy before the term of their first pregnancy. Skeletal muscle biopsy led to a diagnosis of T cell-mediated polymyositis. Both babies were healthy, but their serum creatine kinase levels remained elevated for a few months after birth. Their mothers did well after corticosteroid treatment.
