ABSTRACT

We report a case of myositis associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reactivity which was demonstrated on bone scan in the presence of normal muscle enzymes, contrast computed tomography, and electromyography. The diagnosis was confirmed by muscle biopsy. Radionuclide bone scanning may be a valuable diagnostic tool in HIV positive patients who present with muscle pain and an otherwise normal diagnostic evaluation.
