7. For some time, Adam has been experiencing fever, lethargy, muscle swelling and tenderness, and a rash on his face, chest, and eyelids. After a number of blood tests and
treatments with various anti-inflammatory agents, the symptoms have not been
alleviated-in fact, they seem to be worsening. The strength of Adam's upper limb
muscles is measured at significantly below normal (3-) on both sides of his body. Based

disorder does the physician suspect? What questions could the physician ask to aid his
diagnosis, and how can the biopsy help identify the disease affecting Adam?
