Abstract

Primary pyomyositis is a bacterial muscle infection which may lead to abscess formation and severe complications. Although this condition has long been considered "tropical" and rare, mostly affecting immunocompromised patients, cases of pyomyositis have recently raised significantly among healthy children in temperate climates. With these 2 cases we highlight the importance of an early recognition of this condition, allowing an immediate treatment and reducing complications.
