Abstract
A whole-body gallium-67 (Ga-67) scan of a 61-y-old male with diabetes mellitus who suffered from endogenous Klebsiella endophthalmitis is reported. The scan revealed right orbital and lower abdominal lesions. Urinary analysis revealed pyuria. The causes of endogenous Klebsiella endophthalmitis and the usefulness of Ga-67 are discussed.Keywords
