Abstract：
Pyomyositis is a bacterial infection of striated muscle, usually located to muscles in the extremities or pelvis. We present a microbiologically unique case report of pyomyositis in the sternocleidomastoid muscle (the first of its kind in Denmark) caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis, S. capitis and possibly Streptococcus pneumoniae. Pyomyositis is very rare but can lead to critical complications such as endocarditis and sepsis. It is therefore important to know the condition when evaluating an infected patient with muscle pain. Treatment consists of antibiotics and - if relevant - surgical abscess drainage.
摘要：
化脓性肌炎是横纹肌的细菌感染，通常位于四肢或骨盆的肌肉。我们介绍了由表皮葡萄球菌引起的胸锁乳突肌中脓肌炎的微生物学独特病例报告（丹麦首例），S、头炎和可能的肺炎链球菌。化脓性肌炎非常罕见，但可导致严重并发症，如心内膜炎和败血症。因此，在评估受感染的肌肉疼痛患者时，了解病情非常重要。治疗包括抗生素和-如果相关-手术脓肿引流。
