Abstract
• A 43-year-old woman who indiscriminately took colchicine for five years developed a progressive multisystem syndrome that included severe axonal neuropathy and a pathologically striking myopathy. The neuropathy and myopathy were similar to experimental animal colchicine-induced neuromuscular toxicity.Keywords
