Abstract
Myositis is a relatively uncommon presentation of group A streptococcal infection. We present a case of a 3-year-old girl with group A streptococcal myositis primarily involving the soleus muscle. Magnetic resonance imaging was valuable in localizing the affected muscle and avoiding surgical exploration.Entities:
