ABSTRACT

La piomiositis tropical es una infección que afecta al músculo estriado, principalmente de región pélvica y proximal de muslos. Lo excepcional radica en la colonización del músculo estriado, evidenciándose la práctica de ejercicio extenuante como factor predisponente. El Staphylococcus aureus es el principal agente etiológico. La presentación se caracteriza por fiebre, mialgia y limitación funcional. El tratamiento contempla antibioticoterapia y drenaje quirúrgico. Se trata de escolar masculino, 11 años, quien presenta dolor en región inguinal izquierda, aumento de volumen en muslo ipsilateral, fiebre, limitación funcional. Práctica interdiaria de béisbol. Posición antálgica de muslo izquierdo, signos de flogosis en región inguinal y glútea ipsilateral. Paraclínicos: Leucocitosis, neutrofilia, proteína C reactiva elevada. Resonancia magnética nuclear demuestra colección en músculos pelvitrocantéricos. Se indicó antibioticoterapia con Clindamicina y Cefotaxime. Presenta evolución satisfactoria.


Tropical pyomyositis is an infection that affects the striated muscle, mainly of the pelvic and proximal thighs. Seen more frequently in immunocompetent males between 2-10 years. The uncommon fact is the colonization of striated muscle, with the practice of extenuating exercise, as a predisposing factor. Staphylococcus aureus is the main etiological agent. Clinical presentation is characterized by fever, myalgia and functional limitation. Treatment includes antibiotic therapy and surgical drainage. Clinical case: An 11 year old boy, who presents with pain in the left inguinal region, increased volume of the ipsilateral thigh, fever and functional limitation. The patient usually practiced baseball every other day. Physical examination: Antalgic position of the left thigh, phlogosis in inguinal and gluteal ipsilateral regions. Paraclinics: Leukocytosis, neutrophilia, elevated C-reactive protein. Nuclear magnetic resonance demonstrates collection in pelvitrocanteric muscles. Antibiotic therapy with Clindamycin and Cefotaxime were prescribed with a satisfactory evolution.
