Özet

Bu olgu sunumunda intravenöz uyuşturucu kullanan bir hastada gelişen psoas absesi sunulmaktadır. Bu hastalar sıklıkla acil servise sebebi bilinmeyen enfeksiyonlar nedeniyle başvururlar. Enfeksiyonun belirsiz semptomları nedeniyle klinisyenler için tanı koyması zordur. Yirmi altı yaşında ilaç bağımlılığı olan ve bu sebeple tedavi gören kadın hasta, bilinmeyen enfeksiyöz semptomlar ile acil servise başvurmuştur. Fizik muayenede sağ koksadan dize kadar yayılan ağrı ortaya çıktı. Sağ kalçaya yönelik çekilen bilgisayarlı tomografide psoas absesi saptandı.
