  • Title: Absent splenic uptake of indium-111-oxine-labeled autologous leukocytes in functional asplenia.
    Author: Hicks RJ, Young W, Shapiro B, Kuhl DE.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1991 Mar; 32(3):524-6. PubMed ID: 1900887.
    Abstract:
    An incidental finding of absent splenic uptake of autologous, indium-111-oxine-labeled leukocytes in an immunosuppressed renal transplant recipient was documented to be associated with functional asplenia based on absence of technetium-99m-sulfur colloid clearance by a morphologically normal spleen. The patient had recently suffered an episode of disseminated varicella infection that might have led to the development of functional asplenia.
