At Hoima Hospital, Uganda, 58 patients (30 men and 28 women) with a mean age of 21 years have been investigated by ultrasound; a total of 81 lesions were present. Two different characteristic images were found; abscess was present in 65 cases while 16 patients showed a diffuse infiltration among the muscular fibers. These two different images correspond to the two stages of histologic and clinical progression described by other authors. Ultrasound is useful to demonstrate the progression of pyomyositis and to determine when and where to drain any abscess.
