She presented to us 7 days after application of the cast with high grade fever, excruciating pain and swelling of her right leg.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her presentation was suggestive of a deep vein thrombosis. On day 2 of admission, the young patient, developed breathing difficulty which led her to being admitted to ICU for pediatric critical care. She developed certain skin changes that suggested a possible infection in her right leg, which was both limb and life threatening. In the course of ICU stay, she developed multi organ dysfunction with shock, respiratory failure, acute kidney injury and sepsis requiring her to be on life support and high-end antibiotics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our team of doctors performed exploratory surgical procedures through which\u00a0the doctors came to the conclusion that the child is suffering from\u00a0severe pyomyositis\u00a0which required removal of\u00a0 the tissues around the knee, as the tissues in the muscle around the bones were necrosed, which was very rare as none of the superficial tissues were damaged.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team consisting of plastic surgeons, pediatrician, intensivists and infectious diseases treated her in cohesion with vacuum therapy, intensive care and many radical surgeries that included removal of necrotic tissues and skin grafting to save her limb and life. This was a truly complicated medical case that challenged the most dedicated and skilled professionals.\u00a0Throughout her stay in the hospital, the child never lost her smile on her face and always greeted the doctors as \u201cNamaste doctor\u201d and the nurses as \u201cNamaste Didi\u201d.\u00a0 She became the mascot of the ICU with her playful actions and a bright smile.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, the young patient has gone back to continue her dancing and Kauvery Hospital is proud to have kept the little girl\u2019s dream of dancing alive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team of doctors include:\u00a0<strong>Dr Lakshmi Prashanth<\/strong>, Consultant Pediatrician,\u00a0<strong>Dr V B Narayanamurthy,<\/strong>\u00a0Senior Consultant Plastic Surgeon,\u00a0<strong>Dr Sathish Manivel<\/strong>, Senior Consultant Plastic Surgeon,\u00a0<strong>Dr Arul Mozhi Mangai<\/strong>, Senior Consultant Plastic Surgeon,\u00a0<strong>Dr Vijayalakshmi B,<\/strong>\u00a0Senior Consultant Infectious Diseases\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Dr Sridhar N<\/strong>, Senior Consultant Intensivist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking on the achievement of the doctors,\u00a0<strong>Dr Iyappan Ponnuswamy, Medical Director Kauvery Hospital,<\/strong>\u00a0said,\u00a0<em>\u201cIt gives us immense pleasure to see the smile back on the young and aspiring dancer\u2019s face.

The success of this case gives hope for many who might be suffering from debilitating condition.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Pyomyositis is a bacterial infection that occurs in the adult population, elderly and immune deficient individuals.
