INTRA-GLUTEAL ABSCESS FOLLOWING INTRAMUSCULAR INJECTION PRESENTING AS FEVER OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 6
Abstract
Intramuscular injections are commonly given in clinical practice and generally are without any complications. Minor discomfort and pain is common for a short period following the injection. Intra-gluteal abscess has been reported earlier but its presentation as FUO is uncommon. We are reporting these two cases to stress the importance of probing the history of intramuscular injections in patients without an apparent cause of fever.
