Charles B. Mulhern MD, Abstract Co-Author: Nothing to Disclose

• To present a multimodality review of the spectrum of musculoskeletal infections unique to patients with diabetes, end-stage renal disease, and otherwise immunocompromised states as well as post-arthroplasty patients. • To highlight key imaging features distinguishing population-specific manifestations of musculoskeletal infection as well as non-infectious mimickers.  • To provide insight into these population-specific considerations while reinforcing the basic radiographic principles of musculoskeletal infection.

1. End-stage Renal Disease     a. Septic osteomyelitis-discitis vs dialysis-related spondyloarthropathy     b. Septic sacroiliitis vs hyperparathyroidism 2. Diabetes     a. Osteomyelitis vs neuropathic joint     b. Abscess vs diabetic myonecrosis     c. Fasciitis - necrotizing vs non-necrotizing     d. Squamous cell carcinoma vs infection 3. HIV/Immunocompromised     a. Tuberculosis     b. Myositis     c. Lymphoma masquerading as infectious and inflammatory conditions     d. Septic arthritis 4. Post-arthroplasty patients     a. Infection     b. Particle disease     c. Loosening     d. Pseudotumor 5. Summary
