Indium-111 labeled leukocytes in the evaluation of suspected abdominal abscesses

Quantification of the leucocyte influx into rabbit ileal loops induced by strains of Salmonella typhimurium of different virulence

“…In the present paper we describe experiments to quantify the influx of leucocytes into RILs challenged with strains of different virulence, in an attempt to strengthen or weaken the possible correlation between fluid secretion and a role for leucocytes. The approach is based on techniques used by clinicians to locate internal abscesses by use of radio-labelled leucocytes (Coleman et al, 1980).…”

Nuklearmedizinische Entzündungsdiagnostik: Update 2017

“…Falsch positive Ergebnisse waren durch sterile Entzündungen und Ödeme bedingt, falsch negative durch Infektionen, die älter als einen Monat waren. In einer Serie von 53 Patienten, darunter 18 mit postoperativen Infektionen, wurden von Coleman et al alle 14 abdominalen Abszesse sowie 9 postoperative Wundinfektionen detektiert [23]. ▶ Abb.…”
