ABSTRACT
Abstract

Objective:

To evaluate SPECT/CT with radiolabeled somatostatin analogues (RSAs) in systemic granulomatous infections in comparison with gallium-67 (67Ga) citrate scintigraphy. Materials and

Methods:

We studied 28 patients with active systemic granulomatous infections, including tuberculosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, pneumocystosis, cryptococcosis, aspergillosis, leishmaniasis, infectious vasculitis, and an unspecified opportunistic infection. Of the 28 patients, 23 had started specific treatment before the study outset. All patients underwent whole-body SPECT/CT imaging 7 after injection of 99mTc-EDDA-HYNIC-TOC, and 21 after injection of 111In-DTPA-octreotide. All patients also underwent 67Ga citrate imaging, except for one patient who died before the 67Ga was available.

Results:

In 20 of the 27 patients who underwent imaging with both tracers, 27 sites of active disease were detected by 67Ga citrate imaging and by SPECT/CT with an RSA. Both tracers had negative results in the other 7 patients. RSA uptake was visually lower than 67Ga uptake in 11 of the 20 patients with positive images and similar to 67Ga uptake in the other 9 patients. The only patient who did not undergo 67Ga scintigraphy underwent 99mTc-EDDA-HYNIC-TOC SPECT/CT-guided biopsy of a lung cavity with focal RSA uptake, which turned to be positive for aspergillosis.

Conclusion:

SPECT/CT with 99mTc-EDDA-HYNIC-TOC or 111In-DTPA-octreotide seems to be a good alternative to 67Ga citrate imaging for the evaluation of patients with systemic granulomatous disease.
RESUMO
Resumo

Objetivo:

Avaliar o estudo SPECT/CT com análogos de somatostatina radiomarcados (RSA) em infecções granulomatosas sistêmicas, em comparação com o estudo com gálio-67 (67Ga).

Materiais e Métodos:

Vinte e oito paciente com infecção granulomatosa sistêmica ativa foram estudados, incluindo tuberculose, paracoccidioidomicose, pneumocistose, criptococose, aspergilose, leishmaniose, vasculite infecciosa e uma infecção oportunista inespecífica. Vinte e três tinham iniciado o tratamento previamente ao estudo. Todos fizeram imagem de varredura e SPECT/CT, 7 deles pós-injeção de 99mTc-EDDA-HYNIC-TOC e os outros 21 pós-injeção de 111In-DTPA-octreotide. Todos os pacientes também fizeram cintilografia com 67Ga, exceto um, que fez biópsia guiada por 99mTc-EDDA-HYNIC-TOC.

Resultados:

Vinte e sete sítios de atividade foram detectados com 67Ga em 20 de 27 pacientes, também vistos nos estudos com RSA. Ambos foram negativos nos outros 7 pacientes. A captação de RSA foi visualmente menor que a de 67Ga em 11 de 20 pacientes positivos e similar nos outros 9. Um paciente que não pôde fazer cintilografia com 67Ga, fez biópsia guiada por 99mTc-EDDAHYNIC-TOC SPECT/CT em uma cavidade pulmonar com captação desse traçador, que foi positiva para aspergilose.

Conclusão:

SPECT/CT com 99mTc-EDDA-HYNIC-TOC ou 111In-DTPA-octreotide parece ser uma boa alternativa para o estudo com 67Ga na avaliação de pacientes com doença granulomatosa sistêmica.
