[Unclear tetraparesis under immunosupression].
[pyomyositis]
We
report
a
case
of
a
69
-
year
-old
man
who
developed
tetraparesis
and
muscular
pain
under
the
therapy
of
prednisolone
for
several
months
.
Diagnosis
was
sepsis
due
to
pyomyositis
with
multiple
septic
pulmonary
staphylococcus
aureus
abscesses
.
Antibiotic
therapy
with
piperacillin
and
tazobactam
resulted
in
a
decrease
of
the
inflammatory
factors
and
improvement
of
the
tetraparesis
.
Pyomyositis
,
common
in
tropical
areas
,
is
a
suppurative
infection
of
striated
muscle
.
Immunodeficiency
has
been
implicated
in
the
development
of
pyomyositis
in
temperate
climates
.
