Abstract
|
|
|
Pyomyositis is a pyogenic infection of skeletal muscle usually occuring in the absence of specific cause of infection. It has been uncommonly reported in temperate climates, but is being recognized with increasing frequency. Though Staphylococcus
aureus
is the usual agent which causes pyomyositis, Klebsiella pneumomiae is rarely suspected possibility. We diagnosed pyomyositis in a 50-year-old diabetic man with symptoms of localized sternocleidomastoid muscle pain, fever and chill. Neck
computererized
tomography and needle aspiration confirmed Klebsiella pyomyositis. Incision and drainage and antibiotic therapy were taken. The patient was recovered and had no residual functional limitation. We highlight the appearance of pyomyositis in our
environment and the necessity to keep it in mind when making a differential diagnosis in order to recognize it and treat it as soon as possible. To our knowledge,, this is the first reported case of Klebsiella pyomyositis in Korea.
