Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Pyomyositis is a primary infection of skeletal muscle that does not result from a contiguous disease, is hematogenous in origin, and often results in abscess formation. Although pyomyositis is classically an infection in tropical regions, it is an emerging infection in temperate climates. Pyomyositis is frequently caused by aerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
