If myositis contagious please i need to be 100% sure thanks ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Life is not 100%: In real life, things are "never" 100% certain, except for perhaps "death and taxes". There are infectious pathogens, such as certain viruses, that can cause myositis. There are other causes of myositis that have nothing to do with infections. If the cause of one's myositis is an infectious pathogen, then that person's myositis may (but not always) be contagious. Life is never exact.
