[Scintigraphic diagnosis of abscesses and other inflammatory processes using indium 111In labeled leukocytes].
Autologous polymorphonuclear leucocytes are injected after separation and labelling with 111In oxine to the patient with a suspect inflammatory process and after 24 hours their localization is assessed by standard scintigraphic examination by a scintillation camera. The authors examined in a prospective investigation 33 patients--the sensitivity of the method was in that group 80%, the specificity 100%, the diagnostic accuracy 94%. The authors discuss the possibilities of application of the method in intraperitoneal abscesses and in some inflammations with another localization. They evaluate the contribution of the method in the diagnosis of inflammatory processes, as compared with the possibilities offered by computed tomography and ultrasound.
