Abstract:
Dengue is the most common and widespread arthropod-borne arboviral infection. Symptoms include fever, headache,
muscle, and joint pains, and a characteristic skin rash. Although viral myositis is common, myositis caused by the dengue
virus is not commonly reported. The case of serologically confirmed dengue fever complicated by pyomyositis associated
with a tenfold increase in serum creatine phosphokinase is presented
