Donor indium-111 leukocyte scan in a nonleukopenic patient.
Indium-III leukocytes are useful in localizing infection and abscess with excellent sensitivity and specificity. In this case report, heterologous Indium-III leukocytes provided the same diagnostic information as autologous leukocytes without adverse effects to the patient. A potential application of donor Indium-III leukocytes in the nonleukopenic patient is discussed.
