We report the case of an 82-year-old man with aortic prosthesis inflammation in whom fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography has been useful in the detection of the cause of fever of unknown origin. We also describe the correlation between decrease of FDG uptake in the vascular prosthesis after treatment and clinical improvement with normalization of the serological levels of inflammatory markers.
我们报告了一例 82 岁男性主动脉假体炎症的病例，氟-18 氟代脱氧葡萄糖（FDG）正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描（PET/CT）在检测不明原因发热的病因方面非常有用。我们还描述了治疗后血管假体 FDG 摄取减少与临床改善（炎症标志物血清水平正常化）之间的相关性。
