title: Febrile renal transplant recipient with discordant findings of (99m)Tc-Leukoscan (Sulesomab) and (67)Ga-citrate scan in pyelonephritis.
abstract: Nuclear medicine techniques like (99m)Tc-Leukoscan and (67)Ga-citrate scan have been used in localizing infectious pathologies in renal transplant patients. We present an interesting case of febrile renal transplant with discordant findings of tracer uptake in the transplant kidney on (99m)Tc-Leukoscan and (67)Ga-citrate scan.
