We describe a renal transplant recipient who presented with tropical myositis and acute allograft dysfunction 2(1/2) years after transplantation. Graft biopsy showed immune-complex crescentic glomerulonephritis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Colour plates and line drawings are present throughout along with tables of key information. [books.google.com]

It is a rare presentation in which the patient has progressed from Stage I to Stage III without a Stage II where pus formation is present. [astrocyte.in]

The importance of immunocompetence and its impact on the presentation of pyomyositis is demonstrated by our present case. Hematologic malignancies are known to be associated with pyomyositis. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

• 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]

  There had been no myalgia. The patient had grown up in Queensland and was living in Innisfail, but had travelled around Australia in the 3 previous years, visiting Western Australia, New South Wales and Victoria. [mja.com.au]

• 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]

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]
