Abstract: A case of pyomyositis is presented. This case is unique in the literature as at least 29 abscesses were detected, affecting the vast majority of big muscle groups. We outline the origin of this diseaseentity which selectively affects striated muscles. We also discuss its natural history and management strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
