Pancarditis: a rare complication of tropical pyomyositis.
[pyomyositis]
Tropical
pyomyositis
is
a
bacterial
infection
of
the
skeletal
muscles
leading
to
abscess
formation
,
occurring
in
the
tropical
areas
,
often
following
minor
trauma
.
We
report
a
case
of
pancarditis
as
the
direct
complication
of
pyomyositis
in
a
10
-
year
-old
girl
who
presented
with
painful
swelling
of
her
right
thigh
,
high
grade
fever
and
impaired
consciousness
.
Echocardiography
showed
pericardial
effusion
with
strands
and
a
large
vegetation
in
the
left
ventricle
cavity
.
She
was
treated
successfully
with
open
heart
surgical
drainage
and
intravenous
antibiotics
.
We
emphasize
early
diagnosis
and
prompt
treatment
of
pyomyositis
to
reduce
its
associated
mortality
and
morbidities
.
