Tuberculous Pericarditis Identified With Gallium-67 and Indium-111 Leukocyte Imaging

Structured PICO

Does Gallium-67 and Indium-111 Leukocyte Imaging identify tuberculous pericarditis in an HIV positive patient?

Population

46-year-old man who is HIV positive with tuberculous pericarditis (n=1)

Intervention

Gallium-67 and Indium-111 Leukocyte Imaging

Outcome

Identification of increased activity on imagingsurrogate

Gallium-67 and Indium-111 leukocyte imaging can demonstrate increased activity in tuberculous pericarditis.

Abstract

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.
