Pyomyositis in Nodding Syndrome (NS) patient--a case report.
[pyomyositis]
We
report
a
case
of
Pyomyositis
in
a
13
-
year
-old
boy
diagnosed
using
WHO
surveillance
definition
of
Probable
Nodding
syndrome
.
Complete
blood
count
showed
Leukocytosis
with
immature
granulocytes
and
atypical
lymphocytes
.
Except
for
the
liver
enzymes
which
were
high
the
renal
functions
and
serum
electrolytes
were
within
normal
range
values
.
Culture
of
a
pus-swab
grew
Staphylococcus
aureus
.
Abdominal
ultrasound
scan
showed
a
focal
mass
on
the
internal
and
external
oblique
muscles
of
the
right
abdominal
wall
.
Incision
and
drainage
was
performed
.
Histology
of
the
muscle
showed
non-
specific
inflammation
of
the
external
and
internal
oblique
muscles
.
This
finding
may
highlight
some
of
the
other
tropical
diseases
that
occur
in
children
with
Nodding
syndrome
.
