Hip pain

Article Abstract:

A man with HIV infection developed extreme hip pain following hospitalization for pneumocystis pneumonia. Radiographic and ultrasonographic images revealed no joint disease or fluid collection. A CT image of the pelvis and empirical treatment with antiinflammatories confirmed a diagnosis of focal myositis and bursitis. Diagnostic tests should evaluate possible infectious causes, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Antiinflammatories and local injections of anesthetics and corticosteroids are frequently effective.
