  • Title: Tropical pyomyositis: a case report and review.
    Author: Goldberg JS, London WL, Nagel DM.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1979 Feb; 63(2):298-300. PubMed ID: 440823.
    Abstract:
    Tropical pyomyositis is a disease of skeletal muscle characterized by single or multiple abscesses. The infective organism is most often penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Only recently have case reports appeared in the literature from temperate zones; however, this disease is common in the tropics. This report reviews the literature and describes a child from rural North Carolina in whom tropical pyomyositis developed after incision and drainage of a furuncle.
