title: Pyomyositis: an unusual infection due to staphylococcus aureus.
abstract: Pyomyositis is a primary pyogenic infection of skeletal muscle, leading to the formation of intramuscular abscesses. Although common in tropical climates, it is infrequent in temperate zones. We report a patient who developed the condition without travelling to tropical areas.
