Abstract
Primary Pyomyositis, an acute suppurative disease primarily caused by Staphylococcus aureus, affects predominantly peripheral skeletal muscle. Infections to other areas, such as the skin, bone, or soft tissue are limited and rare. Early diagnosis using computerized tomography and ultrasonography and treatment by antibiotics/drainage forms the mainstay of management. Delayed diagnosis will alter the prognosis choosing an ineffective treatment. We report the case of a 55-year-old male with Primary pyomyositis who presented with leg pain and later developed pyomyositis of his hip and pelvic muscles. Drainage was appropriate and he was treated with intravenous antibiotics.
