Sugam Krishna Singh, Dharmendra Singh, Arun Kumar M.




Abstract

Tropical Pyomyositis is a suppurative infection commonly involving the skeletal muscle. Trauma in an immunocompromised patient predisposes to this condition. Early and prompt diagnosis along with parenteral antibiotics, analgesia and surgical debridement as and when necessary forms the main stay of treatment. In this case report, we present how a 49-year-old male who had a missed diagnosis in general outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital, was later promptly diagnosed in specialist department and treated aggressively without progressing in to worst systemic complications.

Key words: Tropical pyomyositis, Immunocompromised, Skeletal muscle
