Focal myositis is a rarely reported inflammatory disease of skeletal muscle, particularly of an extremity. It is often misinterpreted as an infectious syndrome, leading to prolonged antibiotic use and a delay in immunosuppressive therapy. Without a confirmed etiology to date, we present a case of recurrent focal myositis following an electromyogram.
局灶性肌炎是一种罕见的骨骼肌炎症性疾病,尤其是累及四肢的疾病。它常被误诊为感染综合征,导致抗生素使用时间延长以及免疫抑制治疗延迟。由于迄今为止病因尚未明确,我们报告一例肌电图检查后复发的局灶性肌炎病例。
