Aseptic pyomyositis is a rare, potentially life-threatening disorder characterized by the formation of sterile pus in muscle. We present a case of 53-years old female, diagnosed case of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis, presented with pain and swelling of the right calf muscle for 2 weeks. There was no history of fever, cough, skin erythema, no history of prolonged standing or immobility, or fetal loss. The diagnosis was made as rheumatoid arthritis with autoimmune pyomyositis, and the patient was treated with oral prednisolone 1mg\/kg body weight in tapering dose, cs DMARDS, (methotrexate 25 mg once a week, and leflunomide 20mg daily hydroxychloroquine 200 mg daily orally) and another supportive treatment along with surgical drainage of pus was done. There was complete resolution of the initial lesion and remission of the primary disease in 3 months.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/omcr\/omae059","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,9]],"date-time":"2024-06-09T14:05:27Z","timestamp":1717941927000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Aseptic pyomyositis in rheumatoid arthritis treated with corticosteroid and DMARDs"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2024","author":[{"given":"Sudhir","family":"Karmacharya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Rheumatic Diseases Rheumatology Department, , House no 158, Pashupati Sadak, Kathmandu-9, 44600, Nepal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adheep Arun","family":"Shrestha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Rheumatic Diseases Rheumatology Department, , House no 158, Pashupati Sadak, Kathmandu-9, 44600, Nepal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shweta","family":"Nakarmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Rheumatic Diseases Rheumatology Department, , House no 158, Pashupati Sadak, Kathmandu-9, 44600, Nepal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manisha","family":"Bhochhibhoya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Rheumatic Diseases Rheumatology Department, , House no 158, Pashupati Sadak, Kathmandu-9, 44600, Nepal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4840-8924","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Binit","family":"Vaidya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Center for Rheumatic Diseases Rheumatology Department, , House no 158, Pashupati Sadak, Kathmandu-9, 44600, Nepal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024060914010653100_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1354","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina58101354","article-title":"Aseptic abscess syndrome in rheumatoid arthritis patient","volume":"58","author":"Owczarczyk-Saczonek","year":"2022","journal-title":"Medicina (Kaunas)"},{"key":"2024060914010653100_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3669","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11133669","article-title":"Aseptic abscess syndrome: clinical characteristics, associated diseases, and up to 30 years\u2019 evolution data on a 71-patient series","volume":"11","author":"Trefond","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Clin Med"},{"key":"2024060914010653100_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"434","DOI":"10.4103\/ijd.IJD_259_18","article-title":"Aseptic abscess syndrome with severe skin involvement: case report","volume":"65","author":"Agirgol","year":"2020","journal-title":"Indian J Dermatol"},{"key":"2024060914010653100_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"77","DOI":"10.1016\/S1297-319X(02)00018-0","article-title":"Anterior tibial compartment syndrome due to the pyomyositis in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis.
