“…One postulates that gallium binds to lactoferrin, while the other is that the siderophore mediates direct bacterial uptake of gallium . 4 To our knowledge, gallium localization has been reported in 16 patients with tuberculosis peritonitis.^r8e 1t 611 Diffuse abdominal uptake was seen in 10 of 16 patients (63%), and focal abdominal uptake in 6 of 16 patients (37%). In the same population, decreased hepatic uptake was seen in 9 of 16 patients (56%), normal hepatic uptake in 4 of 16 patients (25%), and the remaining 3 patients were unknown.…”

Tuberculosis peritonitis: Gallium-67 scintigraphic appearance

et al. 1999

Tuberculosis peritonitis is a rare manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The results of gallium-67 scintigraphy of three patients with tuberculosis peritonitis were reviewed to assess its usefulness in the diagnosis of this condition. Tuberculosis peritonitis was associated with diffuse or focal abdominal localization and decreased hepatic accumulation of gallium-67. These gallium-67 scan features of tuberculosis peritonitis may help to optimize the diagnosis and management of this disease.

“…These have included a focus in the intestine (Yang et al 1992;Lin and Hsieh 1999), two foci in the liver (Ohta et al 1996), and three foci in the spleen (Kao et al 1996). Diffusely increased tracer accumulation throughout the abdomen has been shown in tuberculous peritonitis (LaManna et al 1984;Sumi et al 1999). Decreased hepatic accumulation is also associated with this.…”

The role of Gallium-67 imaging in the detection of foci in recent cases of fever of unknown origin

et al. 1991

We have assembled data from patients with fever of unknown origin who underwent gallium scintigraphy during the past 5 years in order to obtain a more current sampling of patients, and evaluated the role of gallium scintigraphy retrospectively. Of the 36 patients studied, gallium scintigraphy was positive and contributed to the detection of the foci or fever origins in 17 (47.2%). The ratio of neoplastic diseases with myeloproliferative and with lymphoproliferative disorders was relatively high compared with previous reports. However, gallium scintigraphy did not contribute to the diagnosis of collagen disease. With the ability to detect both inflammatory and neoplastic lesions, gallium scintigraphy was useful in detecting the foci of fevers of unknown origin.
