Abstract
Pyomyositis is a primary bacterial infection of skeletal muscle. In recent years pyomyositis has increasingly been diagnosed even in patients without predisposing factors. There is a male predominance. Imaging is essential for the diagnosis of the pyomyositis, and radiologists play a crucial role in the early diagnosis of this infection. MRI is the imaging method of choice for characterizing the infection.
