Infective myositis - what does this mean
Infective myositis is an infection of the muscle tissue caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. it can occur when the muscle is weakened by a previous injury or illness, allowing the infection to spread from the skin or bloodstream. symptoms include pain, tenderness, swelling, and redness of the affected area, as well as fever and fatigue. treatment typically involves antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals, depending on the cause of the infection.
What happens during the disease - infective myositis
Infective myositis is an inflammatory condition of the muscles caused by a bacterial or viral infection. it is usually caused by a direct invasion of the muscle tissue by microorganisms, which leads to the release of inflammatory mediators, resulting in swelling, pain, and muscle weakness. it is also associated with the presence of fever, malaise, and leukocytosis.
