RESUMEN

Pyomyositis is an acute primary bacterial infection of striated muscle. It affects mainly but not only immunocompromised patients, especially in tropical areas. The responsible microbe is often found to be Staphylococcus aureus. We report here the case of an immunocompetent 17-year-old with multifocal pyomyositis from which S. aureus was isolated two weeks after he was hit with a truncheon.
