Clinical characteristics and predictors of mortality in 67 patients with primary pyomyositis: a study from North India
Clinical Rheumatology, 10/12/09
Sharma A et al. – Primary pyomyositis is infection of the skeletal muscles in the absence of adjacent skin, soft tissue, and bone infection. This study was undertaken to look at the spectrum of clinical presentations, therapeutic interventions, and their outcomes and also to evaluate the association of various risk factors with mortality. In the study, the patients were seen almost a decade later than those seen in other studies from the region. Evidence of organ dysfunction at presentation and sepsis was associated with increased mortality.
