Abstract
A patient with malignant lymphoma in whom use of a 67Ga citrate lung scan assisted in the diagnosis of P. carinii pneumonia was described. In immunodeficient patients presenting with unexplained fever, abnormal pulmonary function tests, a normal chest radiograph and few chest symptoms, the 67Ga citrate scan may lead to early detection and successful treatment of this potentially lethal infection.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
