Overview
Pyomyositis, also known as tropical pyomyositis or myositis tropicans is a bacterial infection of the skeletal muscles which results in a pus-filled abscess. Pyomyositis is more common in tropical areas but can also occur in the temperate zones. Pyomyositis is most often caused by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus.[1] The infection can affect any skeletal muscle, but most often infects the large muscle groups such as the quadriceps or gluteal muscles. In tropical regions, the infection often follows minor trauma, while in temperate zones the infection typically occurs in people with immune deficiencies. The abscess within the muscle is drained surgically and antibiotics are administered to fully clear the infection.
Historical Perspective
Pyomyositis is first described by Scriba in 1885.
Classification
Pyomyositis may be classified according to international classification of diseases-10(ICD-10) into
- M60.0 Infectious myositis, Tropical pyomyositis (optionally, B95-B97 to indicate the infectious agent; B95.6 for Staphylococcus aureus)[2][3]
