Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Pyomyositis are relatively rare in our countries. CASE REPORT: A 73-year-old-man presented with leg pains and septicemia. Diagnosis of pyomyositis was made and a large incision was performed after which the patient had a progressive improvement. DISCUSSION: Diagnosis of pyomyositis may be difficult in early stages. Diagnosis is greatly facilitated by magnetic resonance imaging. Responsibility of Staphylococcus aureus in cases of pyomyositis due to methi-resistant Staphylococcus aureus may be evocated even if patients was not hospitalized.
