DIAGNOSTIC DATA: Chest x-ray revealed new retrocardiac infiltrate. X-ray of the hip and pelvis revealed progression of osteoporosis, stable erosive changes of the left sacroiliac joint. X-ray of the knee revealed osteopenia with mild degenerative changes. MRI of the right hip revealed changes consistent with septic arthritis with associated osteomyelitis involving the right sacroiliac joint and adjacent musculature. MRI of the left hip revealed no evidence of osteomyelitis. MRI of the pelvis revealed chronic osteomyelitis of the coccyx with marked improvement of the left sacroiliac joint.
