The child improved through the administration of an antibacterial drug. The median age of seven patients with a history of paraspinal muscle inflammation and muscle abscess was 12 years old (3\u201315-years-old), few of which had underlying diseases, with methicillin-sensitive <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic> being the main causative agent. Although the prognosis was well in many cases following the administration of antibacterial agents, there were also cases in which extensive lesions were found and neurological sequelae remained.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The current case was the youngest case ever reported of a paraspinal muscle abscess. Although pediatric cases are rare, in the episode of a fever of unknown origin and difficulty walking, paraspinal muscle abscesses should be cited as a differential diagnosis and appropriate early diagnostic imaging and treatment should be performed.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_994_2022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,6]],"date-time":"2023-01-06T07:26:07Z","timestamp":1672989967000},"page":"3","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Paraspinal muscle abscesses in children \u2013 A case report and review of the literature"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Shinya","family":"Tomori","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seigo","family":"Korematsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shoyo","family":"Tanikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasuko","family":"Urushihara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Koichi","family":"Moriwaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_994_2022\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.4103\/2152-7806.130718","article-title":"Nontropical pyomyositis complicated with spinal epidural abscess in a previously healthy child","volume":"16","author":"Boulyana","year":"2014","journal-title":"Surg Neurol Int"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_994_2022\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"33","DOI":"10.3171\/2010.3.PEDS1017","article-title":"Spinal epidural abscess due to tropical pyomyositis in immunocompetent adolescents","volume":"6","author":"Bowen","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Neurosurg Pediatr"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_994_2022\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"267","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.2003.009274","article-title":"Tropical pyomyositis (myositis tropicans): Current perspective","volume":"80","author":"Chauhan","year":"2004","journal-title":"Postgrad Med J"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_994_2022\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"255","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9610(79)90158-2","article-title":"Pyomyositis.
