ABSTRACT

Se presenta el caso de un niño de ocho años que desarrolla una piomiositis de los músculos obturador interno y externo, coincidiendo con una faringoamigdalitis estreptocócica. Inicialmente presenta solo dolor en miembro inferior izquierdo, siendo diagnosticado de contractura del bíceps femoral. Pocos días más tarde comienza con odinofagia, exantema cutáneo escarlatiniforme, fiebre y exudado amigdalar. Llama la atención la persistencia de dolor intenso en la pierna izquierda, dolor lumbar bajo y signo de Lassègue positivo, por lo que se realiza una resonancia magnética en la que se observa la piomiositis. Se realiza una revisión de los casos de piomiositis descritos recientemente, observándose un aumento de la incidencia en nuestro entorno. Se compara la clínica con dichos casos para intentar identificar signos clínicos que puedan ayudar a un diagnóstico precoz del proceso (AU)


We present the case of an eight-year-old child who developed a pyomyositis of the internal and external obturator muscles and streptococcal tonsillitis simultaneously. Initially, he only presented pain in the lower left limb and he was diagnosed a contracture of the biceps femoris muscle. A few days after, he began with odynophagia, cutaneous exanthema and fever with tonsillar exudate. However, the pain in the left leg persisted, lower lumbar pain and Lassègue sign appeared, so we underwent a magnetic resonance imaging demonstrating the pyomyositis. We reviewed recently described cases of pyomyositis, and we observed an increase of their incidence in our environment. A comparison is made with other case reviews to identify the clinical symptoms that could help in diagnosing the condition early (AU)
