Conclusions
The careful selection of imaging tests, taking into account the clinical presentation, physical appearance and the results of appropriate lab tests, can lead to prompt recognition of the infection and institution of therapy. In selected cases, advanced imaging techniques can be cost-effective and aid treatment.
