“…Due to their physiologic role as capillary filters and their vast capillary volume, the liver and lung are most often affected. Other manifestations are found in 15% of the patients, with the skeletal system making up for l-4% of all cases [3]. Voluntary muscles are a very rare site of infection, counting for <1% of total [4].…”
