Abstract

Pyomyositis in children is an uncommon bacterial infection of skeletal muscles which has more frequently been described in tropical areas, but it is becoming increasingly recognized in temperate climates too. Any muscle group in the body can be involved, but it commonly affects the large muscle groups which are located around the pelvic girdle and lower extremities. Clinical presentation is very similar to septic arthritis of the hip and needs to be diagnosed early. MRI is the investigation of choice. Depending on the severity this condition, it can be treated conservatively with antibiotics in its early stage and with percutaneous or formal incision and drainage in later stages. Generally, if it is diagnosed early, good outcomes can be expected.
