Title: Lung uptake of 99mTc-sulfur colloid in falciparum malaria: case report. Author: Ziessman HA. Journal: J Nucl Med; 1976 Sep; 17(9):794-6. PubMed ID: 784917. Abstract: Increased lung uptake of 99mTc-sulfur colloid was seen during liver scanning in a patient with falciparum malaria.

Similar findings in other clinical situations and the relevant literature are reviewed.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
