Bilateral psoas abscess in a case of granuloma inguinale / Absceso bilateral de psoas en un caso de granuloma inguinal

ABSTRACT

The authors present a case of disseminated granuloma inguinale with bilateral psoas abscesses. Infection with calymmatobacterium granulomatis is usually localized to the genital organs but rarely may be disseminated. A search of the literature revealed that only two cases of psoas abscesses due to calymmatobacterium granulomatis were previously reported.
