Abstract

Pyomyositis is a bacterial infection of the skeletal muscle with Staphylococcus aureus being the most common pathogen. Pyomyositis by salmonella is quite rare accounting for less than 1% of the total pyomyositis, and has some different characteristics and a poor prognosis compared with those of the typical pyomyositis caused by other bacteria. Among these differences, an older age, other combined diseases, and an immune deficient condition are factors predisposing a patient to pyomyositis by salmonella. We experienced a very rare case of pyomyositis by salmonella at the inguinal area in a multiple myeloma patient. This is the first case reported in South Korea.
