title: Abnormal 67Ga-citrate scan of the abdomen in tuberculous peritonitis: case report.
abstract: Tuberculous peritonitis in a 34-year-old alcoholic man was associated with an abnormal 67Ga-citrate scan of the abdomen. Repeated studies after thorough bowel cleansing revealed no change in the site and shape of the abnormality for 2--5 days after injection of the tracer. The inflammatory process may have been responsible for the abnormal scan.
