¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis of occult bacterial infections in children.

Unlabelled: The role of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) in the diagnosis and follow-up of infectious diseases has expanded recently. The aim of this report is to communicate our experience regarding its role in the diagnosis and management of occult bacterial infections in children. We present three pediatric patients with occult bacterial infections and negative conventional studies in whom (18)F-FDG PET/CT had a significant effect on clinical management.
