Does Gallium-67 and Indium-111 Leukocyte Imaging identify tuberculous pericarditis in an HIV positive patient?
Gallium-67 and Indium-111 leukocyte imaging can demonstrate increased activity in tuberculous pericarditis.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May indicate Ga-67/In-111 uptake in tuberculous pericarditis; hypothesis-generating and requires validation in HIV-positive patients.
A case of tuberculous pericarditis in a 46-year-old man who is HIV positive is presented in which increased activity on both Ga-67, and ln-111 WBC imaging is demonstrated.
