Piomiositis en un paciente inmunocompetente

Abstract

We report a case of pyomyositis in a 59 year-old immunocompetent male patient caused by methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus. A CT scan of the chest demonstrated a lesion of the pectoral muscles. The patient was treated with surgical drainage and cephalexin. Pyomyositis is a rare and potentially serious infection that requires early recognition and prompt treatment.
