title: Indium 111 white blood cell scanning in the pediatric population.
abstract: Indium-111 leukocyte scanning is a reliable means of locating acute infection in adults, but its use in the pediatric population has not been extensively documented. The results of scans on 30 children retrospectively reviewed are presented. Acute infections were detected in 15 of 16 patients (94% sensitivity) with one false negative scan. There were 8 truly negative and 6 falsely positive studies (57% specificity).
