Primary tropical pyomyositis, commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus, is characterised by suppuration in skeletal muscles, which manifests as single or multiple abscesses. Another rare causative organism is Mycobacterium tuberculosis in endemic areas. Here, we report a case of primary tuberculous pyomyositis presenting as septic arthritis of the right knee and multiple site pyomyositis of the right thigh and chest wall. A tuberculous aetiology was overlooked at first, which resulted in a diagnostic delay. The patient was initially diagnosed, using ultrasonography, MRI and an absence of systemic symptoms of tuberculosis, with bacterial pyomyositis and treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics. However, further investigations performed on knee joint aspirate yielded negative cultures and a positive cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test, which, along with a non-resolution of his symptoms, suggested a primary tuberculous pyomyositis. He was successfully managed with incision and drainage of the lesions and completion of anti-tubercular therapy.
