Introduction: Pyomyositis is bacterial suppurative infection of skeletal muscle, a rare pathology in pediatrics. Objective: To determine the sociodemographic factors, clinical manifestations, type of pyomyositis and comorbidities associated with pyomyositis. Methods: it is an observational, retrospective, cross-sectional, associative and analytical study of a sample of 50 children admitted with a diagnosis of pyomyositis between January 2015 and December 2020, at Hospital II-2 Tarapoto. Results: The mean age was 9.66 ± 3.70 years, the male population was more frequent (80%), children with primary education were the most affected (62%) and those from rural areas were more exposed (68%). The most frequent clinical manifestations are: pain with localized tumor (100%), headache (64%), fever (46%) and functional impotence (30%). All patients presented primary or tropical pyomyositis. Diagnostic tests were based on ultrasound (98%), Gram of pus (82%), leukocytosis (70%) and pus culture (60%) and blood cultures (34%) were performed. The most frequent location was in the lower limbs (72%). There was a previous history of trauma (48%) and closed hematomas (20%). Microbiologic rescue of Staphylococcus aureus (44%) and Streptococcus pyogenes (16%) was obtained. Medical-surgical treatment was the most appropriate (94%). Comorbidities are factors associated with pyomyositis. Hospital stay was 11 to 15 days in 60% of patients. At discharge, 94% were cured. There were no complications or deaths. Conclusions: There was predominance in the male population with primary school and coming from rural area. Pain with localized tumor was more frequent, mostly in lower limbs. All patients presented primary or tropical pyomyositis. Ultrasonography and Staphylococcus aureus cultures were helpful in diagnosis. Medical-surgical treatment was the most important. At discharge, most of them were cured.
