Abstract

Tropical pyomyositis is very rarely associated with rheumatoid arthritis. We report tropical pyomyositis involving gastrocnemius muscle in both the legs with eosinophilia and elevated serum IgG and IgE levels in a case of rheumatoid arthritis. We suggest that the possibility of pyomyositis should be considered in all cases of rheumatoid arthritis presenting with muscle pain, fever and leucocytosis.

摘要

热带脓性肌炎极少与类风湿性关节炎相关。我们报告了一例类风湿性关节炎患者，其双侧腓肠肌发生热带脓性肌炎，伴有嗜酸性粒细胞增多以及血清IgG和IgE水平升高。我们建议，对于所有出现肌肉疼痛、发热和白细胞增多的类风湿性关节炎病例，均应考虑脓性肌炎的可能性。
