FDG PET/CT in a Case of Human African Trypanosomiasis (Sleeping Sickness).
CLINICAL NUCLEAR MEDICINE(2018)
摘要
Human African trypanosomiasis imported to nonendemic countries is rare. It is very difficult to establish the correct diagnosis of human African trypanosomiasis in nonendemic areas. We present a case of human African trypanosomiasis with MRI and FDG PET/CT findings. Head MRI showed hyperintense areas in bilateral internal capsules. Abdominal and pelvic MRI showed hepatosplenomegaly and multiple enlarged lymph nodes. FDG PET/CT showed generalized hypermetabolic lymph nodes, diffuse FDG uptake of the spleen, and hepatosplenomegaly mimicking lymphoma. In addition, FDG PET/CT revealed decreased FDG uptake in the medial occipital cortex and cardiomegaly with pericardial effusion.
