We report a case of a 53-year-old man who presented with a diagnostic dilemma mimicking septic arthritis. It is important to consider the diagnosis of calcific peri-arthritis clinically and recognize the hallmarks on radiograph and magnetic resonance imaging as this disease process resolves completely with conservative management like in our patient, and does not require operative intervention.

Article Synopsis
- Escherichia coli is a leading cause of bloodstream infections and sepsis, but existing animal models fail to replicate the complexities of these conditions, hindering the development of effective treatments.
- Researchers aimed to create a more accurate large-animal model of septic shock using sheep, by infusing a specific strain of antibiotic-resistant E. coli and closely monitoring their health over 48 hours.
- The study successfully induced septic shock in five sheep, showing consistent and reproducible results, including significant drops in blood pressure and increases in lactate levels following the bacterial infusion.

We present two pediatric cases of nontraumatic myositis ossificans (MO), which initially mimicked infections, leading to unnecessary treatments. The first case involves an 11-year-old boy with acute left hip pain and swelling, misdiagnosed as a hip joint infection and treated with antibiotics before histology confirmed MO. The second case is a two-year-old girl who presented with limping and restricted hip movement, initially suspected to have septic arthritis.
