Now that [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has become an established imaging tool in oncology, it is attracting interest in the field of infectious diseases. Several studies have used FDG-PET to examine the pathophysiology of HIV infection as well as other conditions such as lipodystrophic syndrome and HIV-related neurocognitive disorders. In clinical practice, FDG-PET has been proposed to assess fever of unknown origin or with lymphoproliferative disorders such as Castleman disease in individuals with HIV infection.
既然[18F]氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描(FDG-PET)已成为肿瘤学领域公认的成像工具,它在传染病领域也正引起人们的兴趣。多项研究已使用FDG-PET来研究HIV感染的病理生理学以及其他病症,如脂肪代谢障碍综合征和HIV相关神经认知障碍。在临床实践中,FDG-PET已被提议用于评估HIV感染个体不明原因发热或伴有淋巴增殖性疾病(如Castleman病)的情况。
