Abstract

Pyomyositis occurs when intramuscular abscesses appear in one or more body sites. Analysis of data from 165 patients with tropical pyomyositis diagnosed at a hospital in rural Amazonian Ecuador from 1980 to 1989 and 1995 to 2005 found that pyomyositis is more likely to affect males than females and more likely to affect children than adults. Abscesses were most commonly located on a lower extremity. Significant changes in patients' profiles between 1980 and 1989 and 1995 and 2005 were not found.

摘要

当肌肉内脓肿出现在一个或多个身体部位时，就会发生肌脓肿。对 1980 年至 1989 年和 1995 年至 2005 年厄瓜多尔亚马逊农村一家医院诊断的 165 例热带肌脓肿患者的数据进行分析后发现，肌脓肿更可能影响男性而不是女性，更可能影响儿童而不是成年人。脓肿最常见于下肢。1980 年至 1989 年和 1995 年至 2005 年之间，患者特征没有明显变化。
