The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of hyper-metabolic infection sites revealed by fluorine-18 ((18)F) fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron-emission tomography (PET) combined with computed tomography (CT) in patients with febrile neutropenia (FN). Forty-eight consecutive patients with haematological malignancies and persistent FN (temperature ≥ 38°C and neutrophil count <500 cells/μl for more than two days) as a consequence of intensive chemotherapy were prospectively included. Pathological FDG uptakes identified 31 foci of infections located in the lungs (n=15, 48.4 %), colon (n=4, 12.9%), pancreas (n=2, 6.5%), skin (n=3, 9.7%), ear-nose-throat area (n=5, 16.1%), central venous catheter tract (n=1, 3.2%) and gallbladder (n=1, 3.2%). These pathological FDG uptakes were observed in half of the 48 patients (n=24). Among the 38 patients with a clinical diagnosis of infection, 23 showed a pathological FDG uptake, resulting in a FDG-PET/CT sensitivity of 61% (95% CI, 43-76%). Our study confirmed the ability of FDG-PET/CT to diagnose infections in patients with persistent FN.
本研究的目的是评估氟-18(¹⁸F)氟脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)正电子发射断层扫描(PET)联合计算机断层扫描(CT)在发热性中性粒细胞减少症(FN)患者中发现的高代谢感染部位的患病率。前瞻性纳入了48例因强化化疗导致血液系统恶性肿瘤且持续FN(体温≥38°C且中性粒细胞计数<500个细胞/μl超过两天)的连续患者。病理性FDG摄取确定了31个感染病灶,位于肺部(n = 15,48.4%)、结肠(n = 4,12.9%)、胰腺(n = 2,6.5%)、皮肤(n = 3,9.7%)、耳鼻喉区域(n = 5,16.1%)、中心静脉导管通路(n = 1,3.2%)和胆囊(n = 1,3.2%)。在48例患者中有一半(n = 24)观察到这些病理性FDG摄取。在38例临床诊断为感染的患者中,23例显示病理性FDG摄取,FDG-PET/CT的敏感性为61%(95%CI,43 - 76%)。我们的研究证实了FDG-PET/CT诊断持续FN患者感染的能力。
