Pyomyositis--an under-reported disease in temperate climates.
Two cases of pyomyositis were seen over a period of 2 weeks. Both patients were young local residents in whom large amounts of pus were found deep within skeletal muscles. The first case had an unusual presentation involving more than one muscle. The causative organism in the first case was Staphylococcus aureus. In the second case it was Streptococcus pyogenes.

Q fever following bone marrow transplantation.
We describe a patient who developed an acute febrile illness 85 days after receiving an allogeneic bone marrow transplant for acute myeloid leukaemia. Serological investigation indicated the cause to be Q fever. The patient was receiving concurrent immunosuppressive therapy for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Coxiella burnetii should be added to the list of organisms which may complicate bone marrow transplantation. This case also provides further evidence to support an association between immunocompromised conditions and the development of Q fever.
