    Abstract:
    Pyomyositis is an uncommon cause of musculoskeletal pain in children and adolescents living in temperate climates. Toxic shock syndrome is a life-threatening potential complication of pyomyositis. We report a case of acute hematogenous pyomyositis, complicated by toxic shock syndrome, and review the pertinent literature.
