From Pyomyositis.[edit]
Pyomyositis is a bacterial infection of the muscle, which can form abscesses and spread locally. It is relatively uncommon in temperate climates, often has an insidious onset, and can be difficult to diagnose[1][2][3]. It is even more challenging in the paediatric population where the history may not be clear, examination is inconsistent, and blood tests are non-specific[4].
It was initially described in 1885 as a disease predominating tropical areas (hence also known as tropical myositis or myositis tropicans)[5][6]. It differs from myositis in that it is always precipitated by bacteria and is confined to distinct areas in muscles[7].
