Abstract
Preview Psoas abscess is a painful infection that was once linked to tuberculosis but is now more commonly seen as a complication of intestinal disease. In this article, the authors describe a patient with pain in the leg and buttock in whom herniated disk or lumbosacral strain was initially considered. The patient's persistent fever and the abnormal results of blood cultures led to the diagnosis of primary psoas abscess.Keywords
