Gallium 67 scanning is an effective method of detecting inflammatory lesions, especially abscesses. A 10-year-old boy with aplastic anemia and severe leukopenia and granulocytopenia had a psoas abscess diagnosed by gallium scan. The patient died with Candida spesis 18 days after bone marrow transplantation. At autopsy, a chronic psoas abscess with Candida was found. The gallium scan offers a clinically effective and noninvasive means of evaluating suspected infection in the granulocytopenic patient.
镓67扫描是检测炎症性病变尤其是脓肿的有效方法。一名患有再生障碍性贫血、严重白细胞减少和粒细胞减少的10岁男孩通过镓扫描诊断出腰大肌脓肿。该患者在骨髓移植后18天死于念珠菌败血症。尸检时，发现一个伴有念珠菌的慢性腰大肌脓肿。镓扫描为评估粒细胞减少患者的疑似感染提供了一种临床有效的非侵入性手段。
