Abstract:
Although rare, tropical pyomyositis can result from staphylococcal bacteremia and should be considered in the different diagnosis of fever associated with extremity pain. The diagnosis is readily made with a CT scan. Treatment is primarily medical with surgery reserved for refractory abscesses.
