To report a patient with cat-scratch disease and the associated radiological findings.
A previously health 10-year-old boy presenting with fever and joint pain.
The presence of multiple abnormal foci in the bone marrow were noted by magnetic resonance imaging. There was no correlation with either radionuclide or conventional radiographic imaging findings. The patient's condition was diagnosed as cat-scratch disease by the demonstration of elevated antibody titers to the causative organism, Bartonella (formerly Rochalimaea) henselae.
Magnetic resonance imaging may be more sensitive to the early bone marrow changes that can occur with cat-scratch disease than either radionuclide bone scan or computed tomography.
报告一例猫抓病患者及其相关的影像学表现。
一名此前健康的10岁男孩,出现发热和关节疼痛。
磁共振成像显示骨髓中有多个异常病灶。这些病灶与放射性核素或传统X线成像结果均无相关性。通过检测到针对病原体汉赛巴尔通体(原罗卡利马体)的抗体滴度升高,该患者被诊断为猫抓病。
对于猫抓病可能出现的早期骨髓变化,磁共振成像可能比放射性核素骨扫描或计算机断层扫描更敏感。
