摘要
Pyomyositis is a bacterial infection deep within the muscles, often leading to multiple intramuscular abscesses. While historically linked with tropical regions, its incidence in temperate zones has been increasing, primarily due to factors such as immunosuppression. Typically, it manifests as a subacute infection, although when caused by Group C Streptococcus and resulting in toxic shock syndrome, it can lead to poorer outcomes. Here, we report a rare case of extensive multifocal bilateral pyomyositis in an immunocompetent young woman, preceded by toxic shock syndrome.
