Popis:	Metamizole-induced agranulocytosis is a rare adverse drug reaction with common infectious complications. In this context, pyomyositis of the extremities has not yet been described. Usually, pyomyositis is treated with a combination of antibiotics and surgical intervention. Sonography is described as diagnostic tool for pyomyositis but without defined concrete characteristics for follow-up. This case report describes a widespread pyomyositis due to a metamizole-induced agranulocytosis, which was treated conservatively, using sonography for surveillance.
