Positive 67Ga-citrate scintigraphy: vertebral, satellite lymph node and gallbladder foci in a case of gastroenteritis with salmonella.
We report a case of salmonella gastroenteritis with recurrent fever and sepsis, slight transient lumbar pain and positive 67Ga-citrate scintigraphy. The 67Ga scan made a major contribution to the positive diagnosis of a subclinical spondylodiscit and to the correct treatment leading to the disappearance of the infectious foci.
