“…Other conditions listed as risk factors were organ transplant, malnutrition, chronic kidney disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Though the pathophysiology is not fully explained, there are case reports of cirrhosis and even hepatitis C, both of which impair the immunity, associated with pyomyositis [6][7][8][9]. Interestingly, obesity also demonstrated to increase the risk, with morbid obesity being higher risk (1.47) than obesity (1.34).…”

“…In our case, the patient had a prolonged period of bacte-remia and developed pyomyositis despite initial appropriate therapy. The patient had several conditions known to impact the immune system negatively, including diabetes mellitus, cirrhosis, and hepatitis C [6,7,9]. Both cirrhosis and hepatitis C affect the innate and adaptive immune response [12,13].…”

Pyomyositis is a clinical condition classically associated with tropical climates, but there are an increasing number of reports in temperate climates. We present a diabetic patient, who presented with gastrointestinal symptoms and right foot ulcer. He was found to have methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Initial computed tomography (CT) scan of abdomen and pelvis was negative for any abscesses, but after persistent bacteremia developed pyomyositis being on appropriate antibiotic therapy. This case may make physicians aware that initial negative test results do not always preclude the presence of pyomyositis in the presence of risk factors.
