Findings:

Pus culture identified Streptococcus pneumoniae as the causative agent.
The patient underwent emergency arthrotomy, abscess drainage, hip reduction, and a hip spica cast.
Intravenous antibiotics were administered for six weeks, leading to infection resolution.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering septic arthritis in children with hip pain and fever.
