%X A 76-year-old Malay female presented with 2 days history of fever and vomiting. She was found to have Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteraemia with no clear intra-abdominal cause on the initial computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis (CTAP). She clinically improved with 2 weeks duration of intravenous meropenem. She subsequently developed septic shock and a repeated CTAP demonstrated increased hepatic parenchymal density with extensive parenchymal calcifications. Curvilinear calcifications were seen in the paraspinal and pelvic musculature.
