Can exercise cause pyomyositis? Dorsal muscle abscess with meningeal involvement

Pyomyositis is an acute bacterial infection of the skeletal muscles frequen tly associated with abscess, and it is common in tropical areas and uncommo n in our regions, but during the last few years there was an increase of py omyositis in the temperated areas that induced some authors to identify a n ot tropical pyomyositis, different from the typical tropical ones. The not tropical pyomyositis is more frequent in immunitary deficiencies. Muscle tr aumas are the main causes of pyomyositis, while in other cases the pathogen esis remains obscure. We are now going to describe the onset of a pyomyositis case in apparently good health and with meningeal involvement.
