Pyomyositis has been uncommonly reported in temperature climates, but is being recognized with increasing frequency. The most common etiologic agent is Staphylococcus aureus, although other pathogens have been rarely implicated. The authors describe the first case of pyomyositis caused by Citrobacter freundii. Because of the rarity of this disease in North America, it is often initially misdiagnosed. Neuromuscular sonography, a non-invasive imaging technique, identified the muscle abscess in this patient.
脓性肌炎在温带气候地区鲜有报道，但如今其被识别出的频率越来越高。最常见的病原体是金黄色葡萄球菌，不过其他病原体也很少被牵连。作者描述了首例由弗氏柠檬酸杆菌引起的脓性肌炎病例。由于这种疾病在北美罕见，它最初常常被误诊。神经肌肉超声检查是一种非侵入性成像技术，在该患者身上识别出了肌肉脓肿。
