“…(11,12) In the absence of relevant clinical history and laboratory markers, radiological findings of rhabdomyolysis may be difficult to distinguish from those of inflammatory myopathy, muscle infection, necrotising fasciitis or other conditions associated with myonecrosis such as diabetes mellitus or sickle cell crisis. (5,6,9,(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) Nonetheless, certain clinical clues and radiological patterns may help to guide imaging interpretation. For example, inflammatory myopathies secondary to autoimmune causes, such as polymyositis or dermatomyositis, usually present with slowly progressive onset of weakness and classically involve the symmetrical proximal muscles, which appear hyperintense on fluid-sensitive sequences (e.g.…”

“…pyomyositis) is occasionally seen in immunocompromised patients and usually involves the large muscle groups of the thigh and pelvis. (14,15) It appears on MR imaging as hyperintense focal lesions with significant perilesional oedema, occasionally progressing to abscess formation (Fig. 3).…”

“…El músculo estriado esquelético es naturalmente resistente a la infección. 11,12 Se ha postulado que distintos factores de patogenicidad de SAMRc pueden tener un rol significativo en pacientes sin antecedente de traumatismo muscular. No obstante, el papel de la leucocidina de PantonValentine, una toxina codificada por un fago móvil que se encuentra con altísima frecuencia entre cepas de SAMRc, así como de otras hemolisinas, no se ha aclarado completamente.…”

“…Por esta razón, se destaca aún más la importancia de jerarquizar los signos y síntomas iniciales para el diagnóstico precoz y el tratamiento oportuno. 1,11,12 Si bien el diagnóstico de piomiositis es fundamentalmente clínico y microbiológico, los estudios por imágenes constituyen una herramienta fundamental para delimitar la extensión de las lesiones y guiar el drenaje percutáneo. Aunque la resonancia magnética es el estudio más sensible para detectar cambios inflamatorios tempranos, la ecografía y la TC gozan de mayor disponibilidad en el departamento de urgencias; la radiación ionizante y su alto costo son desventajas de esta última.…”
