Febrile renal transplant recipient with discordant findings of 99m Tc-Leukoscan (Sulesomab) and 67 Ga-citrate scan in pyelonephritis

Nuclear medicine techniques like 99m Tc-Leukoscan and 67 Ga-citrate scan have been used in localizing infectious pathologies in renal transplant patients. We present an interesting case of febrile renal transplant with discordant findings of tracer uptake in the transplant kidney on 99m Tc-Leukoscan...

Zusammenfassung:Nuclear medicine techniques like 99m Tc-Leukoscan and 67 Ga-citrate scan have been used in localizing infectious pathologies in renal transplant patients. We present an interesting case of febrile renal transplant with discordant findings of tracer uptake in the transplant kidney on 99m Tc-Leukoscan and 67 Ga-citrate scan.
