  • Title: Patterns of gallium-67 scintigraphy in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and the AIDS related complex.
    Author: Bitran J, Bekerman C, Weinstein R, Bennett C, Ryo U, Pinsky S.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1987 Jul; 28(7):1103-6. PubMed ID: 3496431.
    Abstract:
    Thirty-two patients with AIDS related complex (ARC) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) underwent 67Ga scans as part of their evaluation. Three patterns of 67Ga biodistribution were found: lymph node uptake alone; diffuse pulmonary uptake; normal scan. Gallium-67 scans were useful in identifying clinically occult Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in seven of 15 patients with ARC who were asymptomatic and had normal chest radiographs. Gallium scans are a useful ancillary procedure in the evaluation of patients with ARC or AIDS.
