Stenotrophomonas maltophilia causes pneumonia and CVC-CRBSI in HSCT. However, there are few reports of pyomyositis due to S. maltophilia. We report a patient with CRBSI and pyomyositis due to S. maltophilia after allogeneic HSCT who was successfully treated by removing the CVC and antibiotics without surgical drainage. Removing the CVC and the combined antibiotics without preventing the neutrophil engraftment could avoid surgical drainage in pyomyositis due to S. maltophilia when detected in an early stage.

is a commensal and an emerging pathogen earlier noted in broad-spectrum life threatening infections among the vulnerable, but more recently as a pathogen in immunocompetent individuals. The bacteria are consistently being implicated in necrotizing otitis, cutaneous infections including soft tissue infection and keratitis, endocarditis, meningitis, acute respiratory tract infection (RTI), bacteraemia (with/without hematological malignancies), tropical pyomyositis, cystic fibrosis, septic arthritis, among others. is also an environmental bacteria occurring in water, rhizospheres, as part of the animals' microflora, in foods, and several other microbiota.

Pyomyositis is a purulent infection of skeletal muscles that arise from hematogenous spread associated with abscess formation. Most often caused by Staphylococcus aureus in more than 90-95% of cases but other rare organisms can cause this infection. Herein we report a rare case of strenotrophomonas maltophilia as a cause of pyomyositis which is a rare occurrence, especially in immunocompetent adults.

Pyomyositis is a rare complication of chemotherapy. A 35-year-old male patient with myelodysplastic syndrome developed Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteremia shortly after chemotherapy, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia-related pyomyositis was encountered after recovery from neutropenia. He recovered completely after surgical drainage and a protracted course of antibiotic treatment.
