Pyomyositis occurred in a man who had not been to the tropics. The condition is common in the tropics but most unusual in temperate climates and is nearly always caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Pyomyositis must be borne in mind in obscure cases of sepsis, as early recognition and treatment are essential to prevent a fatal outcome.
脓性肌炎发生在一名未曾去过热带地区的男性身上。这种病症在热带地区很常见，但在温带气候中极为罕见，几乎总是由金黄色葡萄球菌引起。在不明原因的败血症病例中必须考虑到脓性肌炎，因为早期识别和治疗对于防止致命后果至关重要。
