• Myalgia

  The most common presentation was localised myalgia (100%), fever (96.7%) generalized myalgia (56.7%), arthralgia (40%), pain in abdomen (33.3%) and breathlessness (30%). Extramuscular complications were present in 50% cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The patient reported asthenia and diffuse myalgia, beginning 15 days prior to admission, without association with other signs or symptoms, obtaining partial improvement with analgesics. [clinmedjournals.org]

• Muscle Tenderness

  Although myositis can cause muscle aches and muscle tenderness, weakness is usually the dominant symptom. In some cases, myositis is a short-term problem that goes away after a few days or weeks. [health.harvard.edu]

  Occasionally, the stage of invasion by Cysticercus cellulosae is characterised by fever, muscle tenderness, and eosinophilia and needs to be differentiated from tropical pyomyositis. [pmj.bmj.com]

• Muscle Swelling

  There could be erythema over the swelling. But erythema is absent in deep-seated infections. The swelling is tender and woody inconsistency. In suppurative stage [1-3 weeks], abscess forms in the muscle. [boneandspine.com]

However, there is no microbiological evidence for the etiological agent for pyomyositis in our case as bacteriological workup was inconclusive. Trichinella was the only pathogen isolated. [jgid.org]
