A case report reveals iliopsoas pyomyositis causing sacroiliac pain, indicating a rare infection in young males.
Export A young male presented with multiple skeletal muscle abscesses with left sacroiliitis joint pain. The patient also showed false false-positive brucellosis antibody test with a negative slide agglutination test. CT scan-guided aspiration of pus inside the pelvic region, as well as laparoscopic drainage of pus with debridement, showed Staphylococcus Aureus. Patient responded with debridement of the abscess along with a prolonged antibiotic course of Vancomycin and Clindamycin. He was hemodynamically and vitally stable, hence was discharged with antibiotics at home.
