<unk>  <unk>  and<unk><unk>  myopathy (CIM) are overlapping syndromes of widespread muscle weakness and neurological dysfunction which can develop in<unk> ly ill patients receiving intensive care.<unk>  and CIM have similar symptoms and presentations, and are often distinguished largely on the basis of specialized electrophysiologic testing or muscle and nerve biopsy. The causes of<unk>  and CIM are unknown, though they are thought to be a possible neurological manifestation of systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Corticosteroids and neuromuscular blocking agents, which are widely used in intensive care, may contribute to the development of<unk>  and CIM, as may elevations in blood sugar, which frequently occur in<unk> ly ill patients.
