Pyomyositis can be a difficult diagnosis to make, as it can mimic many other disease processes. Various laboratory studies can be abnormal with pyomyositis, but none are specific to the disease. Early disease can generally be treated with antibiotics alone, whereas advanced disease frequently requires emergent surgical intervention with significant resuscitation. We describe a case of pyomyositis of the right arm.
脓性肌炎的诊断可能具有挑战性,因为它可模仿许多其他疾病过程。脓性肌炎患者的各项实验室检查结果可能异常,但均不具有疾病特异性。早期疾病通常仅用抗生素治疗,而晚期疾病往往需要紧急手术干预并进行大量复苏治疗。我们报告一例右臂脓性肌炎病例。
