67Gallium uptake in psittacosis infection.
67Gallium citrate isotope scanning was performed in a febrile patient with pneumonitis and hepatitis who was later shown to have psittacosis. Focal isotope uptake was detected in both lungs in the absence of radiological changes. There was no enhanced concentration in the liver where inflammatory cell infiltration was slight.
