Diffuse Metabolic Activation of Reticuloendothelium on F-18 FDG PET Imaging in a Case of Visceral Leishmania

Fever of unknown origin may represent a substantial diagnostic challenge. Metabolic total body imaging may be of help in detecting inflammatory foci when clinical evaluation cannot identify the source of prominent local symptoms. In particular, F-18 FDG PET may offer superior sensibility in detectin...
