Ga-67 Citrate and Tc-99m HMPAO Leukocyte Scanning in Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis

A 32-year-old man had disseminated tuberculosis. A Ga-67 citrate scan showed lymph node uptake in the mediastinum, left lung hilus, and retroperitoneum. Tc-99m HMPAO WBC scans showed ileocecal activity, and a culture demonstrated the growth of mycobacterium tuberculosis.
