세균성 근염은 화농성 관절염, 봉와직염, 골수염, 혈전 정맥염, 다발성 근염, 혈종, 좌상, 종양과 감별이 필요하며 진단에 MRI가 도움이 된다. 저자들은 A군 사슬알균에 의한 화농성 근염을 조기에 진단하여 clindamycin으로 치료하였고 심부정맥 혈전증까지 합병되었던 환자를 경험하였다. 성인에서는 증례로 보고된 바가 있지만 국내에서는 아직 보고가 없어 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: Pyomyositis is a rare disease in temperature climate region. The diagnosis of pyomyositis is often delayed, and pyomyositis is often misdiagnosed in the emergency department. Methods: The medical records of 11 patients who were diagnosed as having traumatic pyomyositis in the emergency department at Samsung Medical Center in Seoul, Korea, between 2000 and 2006 were reviewed. Their clinical features, such as history, symptoms, clinical findings, duration from onset of symptoms to diagnosis, medical history, laboratory data, results of imaging studies and clinical course were collected. Results: The psoas muscles were most commonly involved. Computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging aided in accurate diagnosis of the infection and of the extent of involvement. Incision, drainage, and antibiotics therapy eradicated the infectioin in all patients Conclusion: Pyomyositis should be a part of the differential diagnosis for patients with traumatic muscle pain. Radiologic evaluation, such as computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, must be considered in the diagnosis of traumatic pyomyositis.
