  • Title: Pyomyositis in patients with diabetes mellitus.
    Author: Walling DM, Kaelin WG.
    Journal: Rev Infect Dis; 1991; 13(5):797-802. PubMed ID: 1962087.
    Abstract:
    Pyomyositis is a pyogenic infection of skeletal muscle that is endemic in the tropics and is being recognized with increasing frequency in temperate climates. We report two cases of nonendemic pyomyositis in patients with diabetes mellitus. A review of the literature suggests that diabetes mellitus may be an important risk factor for the development of pyomyositis. Possible mechanisms of this association are discussed.
