ABSTRACT

Background: Pyomyositis is an acute intramuscular bacterial infection of hematogenous spread and usually secondary to Staphylococcus aureus; it is more frequent in patients with some type of immunocompromise and with less incidence in places with temperate climates.
Clinical case: A male patient in the seventh decade of life who came to evaluation due to an increase in volume in the right pelvic limb associated with pain that progressed to be incapacitating. A diagnostic approach was started, meeting criteria of image and microbiology consistent with pyomyositis.
Conclusions: Pyomyositis is rare in temperate climates, with a higher prevalence in patients with some type of immunosuppression.
