Piomiosistis como complicación de la varicela: A propósito de un casoDOI: 10.4321/S1139-76322012000100007 Keywords: varicella, complications, pyomyositis. Abstract: varicella is the most common exanthematic disease in childhood. it is usually benign and self-limited. some complications that require hospital treatment and are associated with high morbidity and mortality are reported. pyomyositis or acute infection of the striated muscle is, although rare, one of the musculoskeletal possible complications of varicella. we present the case of a child that, while convalescing from that disease, presented lower limb cellulites, and later a pyomyositis of the gastrocnemius muscle.
