    Pyomyositis, a tropical disease, may be more common in temperate climates than previously thought. This study highlights two pediatric cases of pyomyositis in the northeastern United States, challenging its perceived rarity.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pediatrics
    • Musculoskeletal Disorders

    Background:

    • Pyomyositis is typically considered rare in temperate climates.
    • It is commonly observed in tropical regions.
    • The condition involves bacterial infection of muscle tissue.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the occurrence of pyomyositis in temperate climates.
    • To present cases of pyomyositis in children residing in the northeastern United States.
    • To challenge the assumption that pyomyositis is infrequent in non-tropical areas.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report analysis.
    • Clinical presentation review.
    • Diagnostic evaluation of pediatric patients.

    Main Results:

    • Two children without travel history to tropical regions were diagnosed with pyomyositis.
    • Both patients presented with single intramuscular abscesses.
    • The cases occurred in the northeastern United States.

    Conclusions:

    • Pyomyositis might be underdiagnosed or more prevalent in temperate regions than previously believed.
    • Physicians in temperate climates should consider pyomyositis in the differential diagnosis of intramuscular abscesses.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the epidemiology of pyomyositis in diverse geographic locations.
