Indium-111 white blood cell scan for infectious complications of polycystic renal disease.

This case report describes the localization of a unilateral renal abscess with [111In]oxine-labeled autologous leukocyte scanning in a febrile patient with polycystic renal disease, after other noninvasive imaging procedures failed to identify a source of infection. In polycystic renal disease, leukocyte scans have advantages over standard diagnostic modalities and are very helpful in planning appropriate therapy.
