Pyomyositis, an acute hematogenous intramuscular bacterial infection, is an unusual disease in temperate climates. We present the case of a 15-year-old girl who was referred to our centre with pain, fever, and limping. Magnetic resonance imaging and surgery showed diffuse pus collection in the hip abductor muscles. With increased incidence of this disease in immunocompromised patients in temperate areas, physicians must become familiar with its signs and symptoms to facilitate early diagnosis.
脓性肌炎是一种急性血源性肌肉细菌感染，在温带气候地区是一种罕见疾病。我们报告一例15岁女孩的病例，她因疼痛、发热和跛行被转诊至我们中心。磁共振成像和手术显示髋外展肌有弥漫性积脓。随着温带地区免疫功能低下患者中这种疾病发病率的增加，医生必须熟悉其体征和症状以便于早期诊断。
