Abstract:
The authors describe a patient with myelofibrosis who showed intense Ga-67 uptake in spite of being severely leukopenic and receiving large amounts of antibiotics. They conclude that false-negative results associated with leukopenia or intensive antibiotic treatment may not always be correct.
