Pyomyositis is a bacterial infection of skeletal muscle usually occurring in the asence of trauma or a primary focus of infecation. Usual causative agent is Staphylococcus aureus. It is common in the tropics and rare in temperate climates. We diagnosed pyomyositis in a 23-year-old man with symptoms of localized muscle pain, fever, chill and malaise. Muscular ultrasonogram and needle aspiration confirmed the disease. It was the first case reported in Korea.
