Pyomyositis tropicans: a diagnostic dilemma.

J Chaitow, H C Martin, P Knight, N Buchanan.   

Abstract

Pyomyositis tropicans is a rare disease in non-tropical climates and thus presents diagnostic difficulties. Two children with single staphylococcal psoas muscle abscesses were recently successfully treated. Computerized axial tomography was found to be a useful diagnostic aid, allowing exact localization of the lesion. The diagnosis and therapy of these abscesses are discussed.
