Abstract
Pyomyositis affecting the muscles around the hip may present with characteristics similar to those bof septic arthritis, which are challenging to diagnose due to their rare and vague presentation. Herein, we present a 35-day-old –male nfant with fever, restriction of hip and right limp movement and magnetic resonance imaging finding indicating rectus femoris pyomyositis.
