Intercostal Muscle Abscesses in Infective Endocarditis Associated With Migratory Deposition of Calcium Pyrophosphate
Infective endocarditis (IE) is caused by vegetations, consisting of platelets, fibrin, inflammatory cells, and microcolonies of bacteria, fungi, rickettsia, chlamydia, and viruses, that form in the heart valves, endocardium, and large vessel intima. Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis is highly tissu...

description | Infective endocarditis (IE) is caused by vegetations, consisting of platelets, fibrin, inflammatory cells, and microcolonies of bacteria, fungi, rickettsia, chlamydia, and viruses, that form in the heart valves, endocardium, and large vessel intima. Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis is highly tissue destructive, usually follows an acute course, and tends to become severe due to valve destruction, surrounding abscesses, and distant seeding. The main complications of IE due to S. aureus are heart failure due to destruction of tendon cords and valves, perivalvular abscesses and fistulas, and the dissemination of septic emboli to various organs including the brain, kidney, spleen, and lungs. The most common deep tissue abscess formed is an iliopsoas abscess; however, a few publications have described the formation of superficial muscle abscesses due to S. aureus bacteremia. For muscles near joints, deposition of calcium pyrophosphate crystals, as seen in pseudogout, can lead to pseudo-abscess formation and increase susceptibility to infection. This has been previously recognized in the iliopsoas muscle, in particular. We report a case of IE and intercostal muscle abscesses caused by S. aureus bacteremia in an 86-year-old man. Careful follow-up is required in patients with IE, due to the possibility of abscess formation. Furthermore, calcium pyrophosphate deposition in muscles around joints can trigger abscess formation when there is concurrent bloodstream infection. |
