Abstract
Infectious myositis is rather uncommon. When caused by anaerobic organ isms, myositis is usually polymicrobial, Trauma, ischemia, or a contig uous focus of infection is often an antecedent of myositis. We report a case of monomicrobial veillonella myositis in an immunocompromised p atient. The infection responded to debridement and therapy with metron idazole.
