Pyomyositis usually presents with fever and muscle pain. This is commonly seen in the lower extremity.
The most common causative organism is Staphylococcus aureus.
The diagnosis of pyomyositis in patients with sickle cell anemia is usually delayed as initially this may resemble acute vaso-occlusive crisis. A high index of suspicion is important for early diagnosis.
MRI is a valuable investigation to confirm the diagnosis. It is also valuable in differentiating this from osteomyelitis.
Treatment:This comprises a combination of intravenous antibiotics and surgical or percutaneous drainage of the collection.
