It has been suggested that 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) might serve as a tool for the often difficult diagnosis of infective endocarditis. The case is described of a patient with a Bartonella henselae endocarditis with a negative FDG-PET. This case report demonstrates that negative FDG-PET findings do not rule out the presence of endocarditis.
有人提出，18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描（FDG-PET）可能作为一种工具，用于解决感染性心内膜炎通常难以诊断的问题。本文描述了一例亨氏巴尔通体心内膜炎患者，其FDG-PET检查结果为阴性。该病例报告表明，FDG-PET检查结果为阴性并不能排除心内膜炎的存在。
