Electromyogram-evoked focal myositis

Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2017 Jan;30(1):99-100. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2017.11929548.

Abstract

Focal myositis is a rarely reported inflammatory disease of skeletal muscle, particularly of an extremity. It is often misinterpreted as an infectious syndrome, leading to prolonged antibiotic use and a delay in immunosuppressive therapy. Without a confirmed etiology to date, we present a case of recurrent focal myositis following an electromyogram.
