Gallium citrate Ga 67 accumulation in pulmonary lesions after chemotherapy (MOPP).
We have described a patient with Hodgkin's disease who had fever and pulmonary infiltrates after treatment with mantle x-ray therapy and two courses of MOPP. Gallium affinity of the lung lesions proved at biopsy not to be due to Hodgkin's disease, but probably to chemotherapy-induced pulmonary toxicity.
