متن کاملTechnetium Tc 99m dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scintigraphy in diagnosis of urinary tract infections in children with negative culture.
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of Technetium Tc 99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc-DMSA) renal scintigraphy in the diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) in children with suspected infection but with a negative urine culture. MATERIALS AND METHODS The records of all children with suspected or definite diagnosis of UTI presented during a 2-year period were ...
متن کامل[Renal scintigraphy using technetium dimercaptosuccinic acid in the diagnosis of pyelonephritis in children: study of 17 cases]
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the presence of abnormal results in DMSA renal scintigraphy indicates pyelonephritis. METHODS: We performed the washout test in 17 children with urinary tract infection, as a criterion standard, to locate the infection site. All the children underwent DMSA renal scintigraphy in the acute phase of the disease. The results were analyzed by the chi-square test or Fi...
متن کاملTechnetium Tc 99m dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scintigraphy in children with acute pyelonephritis: correlation with other imaging tests.
INTRODUCTION. Urinary tract infection is the most common serious bacterial infection in children. The aim of this study was to compare the value of different laboratory and imaging techniques in detecting renal involvement in acute pyelonephritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS. In a cross-sectional study of patients 1 month to 14 years of age diagnosed with urinary tract infection were examined with sy...
متن کاملTc-99m Dimercaptosuccinic Acid (DMSA) Renal Scintigraphy in Patients with Acute Pyelonephritis
OBJECTIVES Recently, several authors reported that Tc-99m DMSA renal scan frequently showed cortical defects of the involved kidneys even in the patients with acute pyelonephritis who did not show abnormal findings in the ultrasonography and intravenous pyelography (IVP). METHODS In order to evaluate the utilities of Tc-99m DMSA renal scan and the clinical meaning of cortical defects in the T...
