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.
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。
