pyomyisitis, endocarditisAbstract
Pyomyositis is a pyogenic infection of the skeletal muscles, has predilection for the large muscle masses of the body, with no obvious local or adjacent source of infection. In temperate climates it is strongly related to predisposing factors including diabetes mellitus, HIV infection, malignancies and trauma. The most common etiologic agent is Staphylococcus aureus. A case of non-tropical pyomyositis in an immunocompromised, 50-year-old woman, affecting the iliopsoas, left adductors and left pectineus are presented. Pyomyositis mortality of different series varies from 1% to 23%, depending on the underlying comorbidities of each patient. Diagnosis delay can result in a fatal outcome.
