West Indian Med J. 2005 Oct;54(5):343-5. doi: 10.1590/s0043-31442005000500015.

Abstract

The authors present a case of disseminated granuloma inguinale with bilateral psoas abscesses. Infection with calymmatobacterium granulomatis is usually localized to the genital organs but rarely may be disseminated. A search of the literature revealed that only two cases of psoas abscesses due to calymmatobacterium granulomatis were previously reported
