Tuberculosis is one of the endemic diseases in India. Tuberculosis can involve almost every organ of the body, however isolated muscle involvement is considered rare. We hereby report a series of three cases of tubercular pyomyositis to highlight the importance of high clinical suspicion in endemic countries like India, in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals, presenting with persistent fever and musculoskeletal symptoms. A timely diagnosis with effective drainage and antitubercular therapy helps in good functional recovery.
结核病是印度的地方病之一。结核病几乎可以累及身体的各个器官,但孤立性肌肉受累被认为很少见。我们在此报告三例结核性肌炎病例,以强调在印度等地方性流行国家,对免疫功能正常和免疫功能低下的个体,出现持续发热和肌肉骨骼症状的患者,保持高度临床警惕的重要性。及时诊断并进行有效的引流和抗结核治疗有助于良好的功能恢复。
