Article Synopsis
- Iliacus muscle abscess is a rare but severe condition that can initially present with vague symptoms, making diagnosis difficult.
- A 21-year-old female, who had a mechanical fall, showed symptoms resembling a respiratory infection and musculoskeletal injury, but high CRP levels led to the discovery of an iliopsoas abscess through a CT scan.
- This case underscores the need to consider iliopsoas abscess in young patients, especially when inflammatory markers are elevated, allowing for timely imaging and treatment.
Introduction: The majority of patients with COVID-19 infection do not progress to pneumonia. We report emergency department (ED)-specific variables and evaluate their predictive performance on diagnosis of pneumonia, intensive care unit (ICU) admission and death.
Methods: This was a retrospective, single-centre cohort study of confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted to a Singapore tertiary hospital.
