Abstract
In our orthopedic clinic patients of osteomyelitis and suppurative myositis are not rare. However, differential diagnosis of inflammation has been rather difficult and some of the patients with such symptoms as above remained undiagnosed. Suppurative psoitis is a comparatively rare disease compared with other myositis, the former being more difficult to be diagnosed especially by the orthopedic clinicians who are not familiar with the special symptoms. In this paper we report a case of suppurative psoitis patient who complained of remittent fever and pain at the region of the region of the left hip. Although he had been admitted to a medical clinic of a certain hospital for one month, the symptoms had not been successfully diagnosed. A successful diagnostic procedure and prognostic study is described and discussed from several clnical view points.
