A 4.5-year-old boy with complement deficiency developed infection of the psoas caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. Pyomyositis of the psoas muscle is uncommon but should be included in the differential diagnosis of fever and lameness. The most useful diagnostic test is computed tomography guided needle aspiration, and underlying conditions should be sought.
一名患有补体缺陷的4.5岁男孩发生了由肺炎链球菌引起的腰大肌感染。腰大肌脓性肌炎并不常见,但在发热和跛行的鉴别诊断中应予以考虑。最有用的诊断检查是计算机断层扫描引导下的针吸活检,同时应寻找潜在病因。
