Peripheral graft infection due to Staphylococcus aureus without abnormal findings by 99mTc-HMPAO-labeled-leukocyte scan.
Here, we present the case of an extremely subtle peripheral graft infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The lack of local signs and the negativity of all imaging studies, including (99m)Tc-HMPAO-Labelled-Leukocyte Scan which is reported to have 100% sensitivity, delayed the diagnosis and therapy, which were both provided by surgery.

Markedly elevated111 In labeled leukocyte activity suggestive of acute osteomyelitis was observed in a region of a composite mandibular allograft that was photon deficient on 99mTc MDP bone scintigraphy. This finding was later confirmed by surgical pathology. The patient was treated with intravenous antibiotics and returned two months later with persistent bone infection. The foHow-up thr...

متن کامل99mTc-HMPAO-labeled WBC scan for the diagnosis of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis.
The goal of this teaching case study is to demonstrate the novel use of (99m)Tc-HMPAO-labeled white blood cells (WBCs) in diagnosing chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO). (99m)Tc-HMPAO-labeled white blood cells were utilized to diagnose CRMO. Classically, CRMO is evaluated scintigraphically using (99m)Tc-methylene diphosphonate/hydroxymethylene diphosphonate. (99m)Tc-HMPAO-labeled ...
