Resumen

Se presenta el caso de un paciente con cuadro de 4 meses de evolución de fiebre intermitente, pérdida no cuantificada de peso y diaforesis nocturna. El examen físico reveló hepatoesplenomegalia sin otras alteraciones. Los estudios iniciales mostraron anemia macrocítica-hipocrómica, y las serologías para VIH, hepatitis B y hepatitis C fueron negativas. La TAC de cuello reportó adenomegalias cervicales subcutáneas bilaterales; a una de ellas se le tomó una biopsia, que resultó negativa para malignidad o infección. El objetivo de este reporte es ilustrar la utilidad del 67Gacitrato en el estudio de la fiebre de origen desconocido.

Abstract

Presentation is made of the case of a patient with a 4-month history of intermittent fever, unquantified weight loss and night sweating. Physical examination revealed heptosplenomegaly, with no additional alterations. Initial studies showed macrocytic-hypochromic anemia; serology tests for HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C were negative. CT of the neck reported bilateral subcutaneous cervical lymphadenopathy; biopsy was performed on one, which resulted negative for malignancy or infection. The purpose of this report is to illustrate the effectiveness of Ga-citrate 67 in the study of fever of unknown origin.
