Fifteen cases (9 males, 6 females, ages: 18-73 y/o) of salmonella bacteremia were referred for a Gallium-67 citrate (Ga-67) scan to detect the focal site(s) of salmonella infection. Among them, 8 were finally proved to have focal infection(s). Their underlying diseases were systemic lupus erythematous (SLE, 4 cases), malignancies (2 cases), immunocompromise (1 case) and unknown disease (1 case). The focal infections detected were septic arthritis in 6, soft tissue abscesses in 4 and lung abscesses in 2. This report suggests that Ga-67 scan is of great value in detection of localized salmonella infection.
15例沙门菌血症患者（9例男性，6例女性，年龄：18 - 73岁）因进行枸橼酸镓（Ga - 67）扫描以检测沙门菌感染的病灶部位而前来就诊。其中，8例最终被证实存在局灶性感染。他们的基础疾病包括系统性红斑狼疮（SLE，4例）、恶性肿瘤（2例）、免疫功能低下（1例）和病因不明疾病（1例）。检测到的局灶性感染包括6例化脓性关节炎、4例软组织脓肿和2例肺脓肿。本报告提示，Ga - 67扫描在检测局限性沙门菌感染方面具有重要价值。
