Presentation
The present study was conducted during anatomy practice for medical students in 2018. [tandfonline.com]
A 65-year-old female presented with decreased vision and burning pain in her right eye, 2 weeks after an intramuscular injection. Iris abscess and hypopyon with a fibrinous exudate was noted in the anterior chamber of the right eye. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Musculoskeletal
- Myopathy
The biopsy showed centronuclear myopathy and, in addition, an unusual granulomatous inflammatory infiltrate. The child died of respiratory complications and a complete autopsy failed to reveal further evidence of granulomatous disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Frozen Shoulder
[…] tendons, and the immune system is provoked to attack the bursa.[20] This leads to pain and sometimes a frozen shoulder which patients may or may not be able to recover from. [legalnursepdx.com]
Workup
A careful diagnostic workup identified misguided subcutaneous injections due to a wrong injection angle as the most plausible cause. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Diagnostic workup included a CT-scan of the abdomen, which revealed fluid collection along the soft tissues on both thighs, extending into the abdominal cavity. [casesjournal.biomedcentral.com]
Treatment
Investigation of new treatment options has been limited by patient concerns about the negative fetal effects of medication. To assess the efficacy of intramuscular injection of autologous whole blood (AWB) for treatment of PUPPP. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
In this paper, we discuss etiologies, risk factors, and treatment options for gluteal Nicolau syndrome referring to patients treated in our hospital. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The common etiologies of NSTIs are insect bites, chronic wounds, trauma, or idiopathic origin. Otherwise, possible and infrequent sources are iatrogenic, for example, injections or surgical wounds. [hindawi.com]

Pathophysiology
Considering the aforementioned pathophysiological impact of NSAIDs, treatment with NSAIDs may well have been an accelerating factor in the evolution of NF. [academic.oup.com]
Prevention
This prevents needle from touching side of the cap and prevents contamination. Pull cap off needle 18. With non-dominant hand, hold the skin around the injection site. This secures the area for injection. 19. [opentextbc.ca]
