  • Title: Nonpustular psoriatic lesions detected by Tc-99m HMPAO labeled granulocytes.
    Author: Park CH, Kim SM, Zhang JJ, McEwan J.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1992 Aug; 17(8):656-7. PubMed ID: 1505131.
    Abstract:
    A patient with a fever of unknown origin was evaluated by abdominal SPECT using Tc-99m HMPAO labeled granulocytes and a triple detector camera. Although no abscesses were located, nonpustular psoriatic skin lesions were demonstrated incidentally on the reprojectional images. Psoriatic scales contain a chemotactic factor for leukocytes, and this is a likely explanation for the increased uptake of the radiotracer by psoriatic lesions.
