Resumen

SANCHEZ-RODRIGUEZ, HM et al. Tropical pyomyositis of the iliacus, obturator internus, piriformis and psoas major muscles in an immunocompetent patient with claudication. Acta ortop. mex [online]. 2021, vol.35, n.1, pp.80-84.  Epub 17-Ene-2022. ISSN 2306-4102.

Introduction:

Pyomyositis is a term that denotes pyogenic infection usually primary skeletal muscle, associated with hematogenous dispersion due to transient bacteremia, or penetrating trauma, usually forming abscesses. Classically described frequently in tropical areas and predominantly affecting the lower limb musculature, however, in recent decades it has increasingly been associated with areas of temperate climates and relatively more frequently in immunosuppressed patients, being the patients under 30 years the most affected.

Clinical case:

Male of 15 years without relevant medical history. The patient had no history of trauma, falls, surgical interventions, infections or any other systemic condition. He came because of a clinical picture of 7 days of evolution characterized by pain referred to the groin and left iliac crest area associated with claudication and hyperthermia not quantified, which yielded partially to NSAIDs and paracetamol, but without achieving improvement so it is taken emergency by relatives.

Conclusions:

It is necessary to bear in mind this pathology when performing the differential diagnostic approach of a patient presenting with pain and functional limitation of some joint associated with data suggestive of an infectious or inflammatory process.
