ABSTRACT
The authors report a rare case of an unusual primary pyomyositis of the biceps cruralis assigned to Kingella kingae in a 21-month-old girl. The reported case demonstrated that primary pyomyositis may be encountered during invasive infection due to K. kingae even if this manifestation remains rare. This bacterial etiology must, therefore, be evoked when a primary pyomyositis is observed, and this is in particular in children under 4 years of age.
