摘要

Myocardial abscess is considered to be a rare and usually fatal disease, which is often located in the myocardium, endocardium and valves. Myocardial abscess secondary to the infective endocarditis has been well described in literatures. However, it is now relatively uncommon that the myocardial abscess is formed in the setting of septicopyemia. Here, we present a case on multiple myocardial abscesses on the anterior wall of the left ventricle and septicopyemia by Staphylococcus aureus after receiving a blocking therapy in the left knee with an unsterile syringe
