  • Title: Pyomyositis tropicans: a diagnostic dilemma.
    Author: Chaitow J, Martin HC, Knight P, Buchanan N.
    Journal: Med J Aust; 1980 Nov 01; 2(9):512-3. PubMed ID: 7207352.
    Abstract:
    Pyomyositis tropicans is a rare disease in non-tropical climates and thus presents diagnostic difficulties. Two children with single staphylococcal psoas muscle abscesses were recently successfully treated. Computerized axial tomography was found to be a useful diagnostic aid, allowing exact localization of the lesion. The diagnosis and therapy of these abscesses are discussed.
