<prompt> Answer this question truthfullyWhat is the historical context and explanation for Pyomyositis?  <response>: <reason> Traquair credited Virchow for the earliest mention of pyomyositis, however it was first described by Scriba in 1885 as a disease endemic to the tropics, hence the term tropical myositis. Levin et al. reported the first case from a temperate region in 1971.
