Аннотация
BACKGROUND: The formation of abscesses with necrosis within large, striated muscles leads to pyomyositis, a condition relatively rarely encountered outside the tropics. Intravenous drug users and other immunocompromised individuals are predisposed toward this infection, which may occur due to local or haematogenous spread of infection to skeletal muscles previously damaged by trauma, exercise, or rhabdomyolysis.
METHODS: We report a young male intravenous drug user with rhabdomyolysis due to use of a synthetic opioid, in whom disseminated pyomyositis was detected following evaluation for sciatic and radial neuropathies and Horner's syndrome and review available reports of peripheral nerve dysfunction in the setting of this uncommon infection. We searched online databases to identify all published reports on adult patients with pyomyositis complicated by peripheral nerve dysfunction.
CONCLUSIONS: Peripheral nerve dysfunction may rarely occur via local spread of infection or compression from abscesses.
