CHAPTER 19 Pyomyositis

چکیده
Introduction Pyomyositis is a primary acute bacterial infection of skeletal muscles associated with abscess formation. The use of the term “tropical pyomyositis” should be restricted to primary muscle abscess arising de novo. It should not be used to describe intermuscular abscess; abscess extending into muscles from adjoining tissues, such as bone or subcutaneous tissues; or abscess secondary to septicaemia. Pyomyositis is predominantly experienced in the tropics and relatively low-income countries, but it can also occur in temperate and developed countries. Zur first described the condition in 1885 as an endemic disease in the tropics;1 since then, there have been reports from tropical as well as temperate regions.2–11
