Abnormal 67Ga-citrate scan of the abdomen in tuberculous peritonitis: case report

J J Steinbach. J Nucl Med. 1976 Apr.

Abstract

Tuberculous peritonitis in a 34-year-old alcoholic man was associated with an abnormal 67Ga-citrate scan of the abdomen. Repeated studies after thorough bowel cleansing revealed no change in the site and shape of the abnormality for 2--5 days after injection of the tracer. The inflammatory process may have been responsible for the abnormal scan.
