A patient showing abnormal fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake due to disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection is presented. Increased focal FDG uptake was demonstrated in the cervical and supraclavicular lymph nodes, spleen, and diffuse bone marrow. FDG PET/CT is considered as a useful diagnostic tool to assess the exact extent and activity of disseminated MAC infection. Moreover, it is advantageous over CT and magnetic resonance imaging to assess the treatment response and time course of the disease.
现介绍一例因播散性鸟分枝杆菌复合体（MAC）感染而出现氟-18-氟代脱氧葡萄糖（FDG）摄取异常的患者。颈和锁骨上淋巴结、脾脏和弥漫性骨髓均显示出局灶性 FDG 摄取增加。FDG PET/CT 被认为是评估播散性 MAC 感染的确切范围和活性的有用诊断工具。此外，与 CT 和磁共振成像相比，它在评估治疗反应和疾病过程方面具有优势。
