Tuberculosis (TB) remains as one of the leading opportunistic infection in patients with Human immunodefficiency virus (HIV) infection in developing countries. Here we report a case of huge primary psoas abscess of tubercular origin in an HIV patient who presented with hip pain and limping. Psoas sign was evident on examination and CT scan of abdomen revealed a large iliopsoas abscess extending from abdomen to upper part of thigh. Patient underwent percutaneous drainage of abscess and improved with anti-tuberculous drugs while continuing anti-retroviral therapy.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/saarctb.v11i2.12437SAARC J TUBER LUNG DIS HIV/AIDS, 2014;XI(2), Page: 34-36

Severe Pancreatitis

Psoas abscess is usually tuberculous or pyogenic in etiology. Pancreatitis of the tail of pancreas can cause psoas pseudocyst, especially on the left side. Infection of such pseudocysts can mimic pyogenic psoas abscess, and is more common in diabetics. We report a 25-year-old non-diabetic man with acute severe pancreatitis, who developed infected left psoas abscess on follow up. The psoas abscess was managed successfully by percutaneous drainage and antibiotics.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study were to describe the technique of percutaneous drainage of iliopsoas abscess, and to discuss the benefits of using this minimally-invasive tool. A single center study with retrospective analysis of patients with psoas abscess confirmed by imaging scans, sent to the interventional medicine center and submitted to computed tomography and ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage, from November 2013 to August 2016. Seven patients underwent percutaneous drainage of psoas abscess in this period. The mean initial drained volume was 61.4±50.7mL (ranging from 10 to 130mL), and the mean drainage duration was 8.3±2.8 days (ranging from 4 to 12 days). The success rate of the percutaneous procedures was 71.5%, and two patients required re-intervention. Image-guided percutaneous drainage of iliopsoas abscess is a minimally invasive, efficient and safe procedure, and an extremely valuable technique, especially for patients who are not suitable for surgical repair.

Iliopsoas abscess is a rare clinical entity. It is even more uncommon for psoas abscess to develop in association with genitourinary infections like perinephric abscess because of the retroperitoneal anatomy. Here we present an unusual case of a perinephric abscess extending as psoas abscess which was treated with computed tomography (CT) guided drainage.

Hip Process

Case Report. A four-year-old girl presented with fever and a painful limp in the left hip. Pain characteristics and anemia detected in the blood analyses were the first warning signs that the hip process was not standard. Although the primary suspicion was of septic arthritis, a CT scan of the abdomen revealed an adrenal neuroblastoma.Conclusion.The presenting signs of neuroblastoma are commonly atypical. About 25% of presentations are orthopedic and mimic a variety of severe orthopedic conditions. The most important clinical dilemma is distinguishing benign and self-limiting disorders from septic or malignant processes.

Opportunistic fungal infections account for a significant amount of morbidity associated with HIV disease. Candidiasis is the most common oral opportunistic infection affecting people with HIV infection or AIDS. It is considered as an important marker of immune suppression and may be the initial manifestation of the disease in about 10% of HIV-infected adults. We report a case of an apparently healthy 45-year-old male with oral candidiasis which proved to be the first indicator of HIV infection.

Abstract:: Early recognition of iliopsoas abscess is important for limiting morbidity and mortality. Mycobacterium tubercu-losis remains an important cause of iliopsoas abscess in developing countries and most patients are initiated on empirical an-ti-tubercular therapy. In this context, methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) as a cause of iliopsoas abscess is rare in India. Four cases were diagnosed with pyogenic iliopsoas abscesses caused by MSSA. Half of the patients had typi-cal clinical triad of fever, difficulty in walking and backache. Primary iliopsoas abscesses was present in three patients. All patients were managed with percutaneous drainage and antibiotics with favourable outcome. MSSA as a cause of primary iliopsoas abscesses is rare in India. Early diagnosis of microbial aetiology also minimizes undesirable use of antibiotics and anti-tubercular therapy.

ABSTRACT Candidiasis is the most common oral opportunistic infection affecting people with acquired immunodeficiency. Here, in this case report, we are presenting a case of an HIV positive patient with chronic pseudomembranous candidiasis on tongue along with a kissing lesion on the palate. This case report emphasizes that the aforementioned finding can serve as a good clinical marker for prediction and early detection of HIV infection.

Cellulitis is a common condition that is frequently managed by the general physicians on an acute medical take. This case report describes buttock cellulitis as a presentation of an iliopsoas abscess and illustrates the importance of considering a deep abscess when there are atypical features, when the cellulitis is in an unusual location or when the patient fails to improve with standard anti-microbial therapy.
