A member asked:
Is psoas abscess completely curable? if yes, what is the time period?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Psoas abscesses seldom occur as primary lesions. They are a result of some other underlying infectious process. Time to cure is dependent on eradication of the primary problem, the nature of the organism involved and the type of therapy given. It is curable, but suggest strongly that you be seen by an infectious diseases consultant.
