Infectious myopathies are rare acquired conditions, often with good prognoses. Viral, parasitic, and bacterial infections can cause these muscle disorders, impacting various patient groups.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Infectious myopathies are uncommon acquired muscle disorders.
  • Viral infections frequently cause transient inflammatory myopathies.
  • HIV-associated myopathy can manifest early or as an AIDS complication.

Purpose:

  • To review the diverse causes and clinical presentations of infectious myopathies.
  • To highlight key diagnostic features and epidemiological patterns.
  • To discuss the varying severity and common pathogens involved.

Summary:

  • Viral myositis, including influenza and coxsackievirus infections, presents with muscle inflammation.
  • Parasitic myopathies like trichinosis, toxoplasmosis, and cysticercosis affect muscle tissue.

  • Pyomyositis, a bacterial muscle suppuration typically caused by Staphylococcus, is prevalent in tropical regions.

    • Impact:

    • Understanding infectious myopathies aids in timely diagnosis and management.
    • Recognizing diverse etiologies improves patient outcomes.
    • Increased awareness of these conditions is crucial for both tropical and temperate climates.
