Pyomyosites tropicales

Pyomyositis is a suppurative infection of the skeletal muscle; it mainly occurs in immunocompromised patients or, exceptionally, in immunocompetent patients in tropical or other areas. We present a 24-year-old immunocompetent lady with bilateral thigh myalgia and fever. Upon investigation, extensive multifocal bilateral fluid collections involving the extensor muscles of both thighs were demonstrated. Pus aspirate from the involved muscles proved the presence of Staphylococcus aureus. Incision and drainage of the involved muscles were performed with successful and complete recovery.
