An Electromyographic Diagnosis of Multifocal Pyomyositis.
[pyomyositis]
Introduction
:
Multifocal
pyomyositis
is
a
rare
inflammatory
myopathy
caused
by
bacterial
infection
and
abscess
formation
of
multiple
skeletal
muscles
.
To
date
,
electromyography
(
EMG
)
of
pyomyositis
has
not
been
reported
.
Methods
:
We
describe
the
EMG
findings
of
a
patient
with
pathologically
proven
multifocal
pyomyositis
.
Conclusion
:
Muscles
affected
by
pyomyositis
demonstrate
EMG
features
similar
to
those
of
other
inflammatory
myopathies
.
Other
features
such
as
acute
entrapment
neuropathy
may
exist
concomitantly
due
to
nerve
compression
from
muscle
abscess
formation
.
