Pyomyositis caused by vigorous exercise in a boy

R Jayoussi et al. Acta Paediatr. 1995 Feb.

Abstract

We report on a 12-year-old boy who suffered from staphylococcal pyomyositis in both arms following vigorous exercise. No trauma or skin lesions were observed. In non-tropical areas, the etiology of pyomyositis can be related to muscle injury caused merely by exercise, without any other predisposing factors.
