Pyomyositis - clinical and MRI characteristics report of three cases. Neurology India. 1999 Dec; 47(4): 324-6http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/121829We report three patients with pyomyositis due to Staphylococcus aureus. Magnetic resonance imaging aided in the accurate diagnosis of the infection and of the extent of involvement. Incision, drainage and antibiotic therapy eradicated the infection in all the patients. We suggest clinical or subclinical bacteraemic seeding of the diseased muscle, as the most likely mechanism for pyomyositis.engAdultChildFemaleHumansMagnetic Resonance ImagingMaleMyositis --diagnosisPregnancyStaphylococcal Infections --diagnosisStaphylococcus aureusCase Reports
