I believe you are referring to muscular dystrophy, this is a inherited degenerative muscular disease, and can only be inherited from parents.

There are a number of types of muscular dystrophy but this along with all other inherited diseases are not infections.

What are dystrophic calcifications?

Dystrophic calcifications are deposits of calcium salts that occur in damaged or necrotic tissues, typically in the absence of systemic calcium metabolism disorders. They often appear in areas of inflammation, injury, or cell death, such as in atherosclerotic plaques, tumors, or chronic infections. Unlike metastatic calcifications, which result from elevated serum calcium levels, dystrophic calcifications indicate localized tissue damage. These calcifications can be detected through imaging techniques and may be associated with various pathological conditions.
