Chiedozi LC.
A study of pyomyositis, a pyogenic infection of the muscle, in 112 patients is presented. The etiologic role of suggested factors remains unclear. Early recognition and aggressive management with antibiotics, incision, and drainage usually lead to rapid resolution. Accordingly, the clinical findings are presented, and criteria for diagnosis are suggested.
