Anterior Uveitis with Negative Work-up: Giant Cell Arteritis Remains the Pet Peeve.

Background: Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA), is the most common primary vasculitis. It affects large vessels such as the aorta and its branches. According to Chapel Hill Consensus, GCA is one of the larger vessel vasculitis.

Estimation of the added value of 99mTc-HMPAO-labelled white blood cell scintigraphy for the diagnosis of infectious foci.

Background: Leucocytes scintigraphy (LS) is an in-vivo imaging technique investigating infectious foci, performed in our nuclear medicine department after a 99mTc-bisphophonates bone scintigraphy (BS) or an 18F-FDG-PET, in osteoarticular or vascular localizations, respectively. The aim of this study was to reassert the relevance of LS in the diagnostic of occult infections and its impact in therapeutic management.

Methods: A 45-month retrospective study (2012-2015), including 34 patients, was conducted.
