Аннотация

PURPOSE: To report a case of presumed ocular tuberculosis where a fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT scan was used to image the chest.

DESIGN

Single case report.

METHODS

A 35-year-old female patient with recurrent posterior uveitis was examined and investigated.

RESULTS

A complete blood study was normal. A tuberculosis quantiferon gold test was positive (5.25 IU). CT scan studies of the chest were normal. She was advised to undergo a PET/CT scan. Increased uptake of tracer was seen in right paratracheal, precarinal, and bilateral hilar nodes and in the left choroid.

CONCLUSIONS

FDG-PET/CT scan may be superior to high-resolution computed tomography in detecting concomitant pulmonary pathology.
