[Scintigraphy with indium-111-oxine in the diagnosis of occult inflammation foci. Personal contribution].

In three patients with fever of unknown etiology, an Indium-111-Oxine WBC (White blood cell) scan was performed, in order to detect occult sites of inflammation. An intra-abdominal abscess was located in two cases, while in the third the negative result of the scan directed the diagnosis to other systemic pathologies.
