- W1974849667 abstract "The clinical features of patients with psoas abscess in a local setting, including the microbiology, incidence and aetiologies, have not been well described. This study aimed to review such clinical features and patient outcomes.Retrospective case series.Regional hospital, Hong Kong.Adults (aged ≥18 years) with psoas abscess admitted to Tuen Mun Hospital from 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2010 were included. The clinical presentations, aetiologies, microbiology, treatments, hospital stays, intensive care unit admissions, and outcomes of these patients were reviewed.The series entailed 42 patients, five of whom developed their psoas abscess after admission and seven were intravenous drug abusers. The most common presenting symptom in community-onset cases was back, hip, or thigh pain (43% [16/37]). Fever was present at presentation in 41% (15/37) of these patients, four of whom presented with fever only. The diagnosis was made by computed tomography in 95% (40/42) of these cases. In all, 23 abscesses were considered secondary; the most common aetiology being infective spondylitis or spondylodiscitis. The commonest causative organism for a primary psoas abscess was methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, while for secondary abscesses they were more commonly from the gastro-intestinal and genitourinary tracts. Overall in-hospital mortality rate was 14% (6/42). Secondary psoas abscess patients had longer hospital stays (mean, 62 vs 34 days; P=0.007).Psoas abscess is an uncommon condition. Most patients presented with only non-specific symptoms leading to difficulty in making an early diagnosis. In more than half of these patients, the psoas abscesses were secondary, the aetiology of which differed from reported overseas experience." @default.
