    Author: Sabat D, Kumar V.
    Journal: J Infect Dev Ctries; 2009 Jul 01; 3(6):476-8. PubMed ID: 19762963.
    Abstract:
    Tuberculosis of skeletal muscle is very rare, especially in immunocompetent patients. We describe a case of tuberculous abscess of rectus femoris muscle, which presented as a tender ill-defined mass. Diagnosis was established by PCR and histology. The patient showed marked improvement with a standard four-drug regimen with no evidence of disease activity at the two-year follow-up.
