“…An IM injection is mainly associated with pain, swelling, redness and movement discomfort. Chronic effects with local fibrosis of the muscles leading to muscle contractures (4,5), and abscesses (6) or Staphylococcus aureus sepsis (7) have also been observed. Macrophagic myofasciitis, an emerging medical pathology, has been described and hypothetically associated with the IM injection of vaccinal drugs (8).…”
