Title: Early (18)Fâ€FDG PET/CT in COVIDâ€19 Cord-id: a3pj22de Document date: 2020_9_17
ID: a3pj22de
Snippet: We report the case of who has been hospitalized complaining about fever in the last 4 days. Laboratory data revealed lymphocytopenia and leucopenia with an elevation of Câ€reactive protein and positive realâ€time reverse transcriptionâ€polymerase chain reaction (RTâ€PCR). Six days before this hospitalization, when the patient was asymptomatic, (18)Fâ€FDG PET/CT images were performed for the therapeutic control of liver metastases of colorectal cancer. Lung abnormality findings at (18)Fâ€FD
Document: We report the case of who has been hospitalized complaining about fever in the last 4 days. Laboratory data revealed lymphocytopenia and leucopenia with an elevation of Câ€reactive protein and positive realâ€time reverse transcriptionâ€polymerase chain reaction (RTâ€PCR). Six days before this hospitalization, when the patient was asymptomatic, (18)Fâ€FDG PET/CT images were performed for the therapeutic control of liver metastases of colorectal cancer. Lung abnormality findings at (18)Fâ€FDG PET/CT images, unrelated to cancer metastases, but suspicious for viral infection, may suggest the presence of COVIDâ€19 disease in its early phase before symptoms onset. Since PET/CT is more sensitive than CT scan in detecting host’s reaction, the added value of this technique could be monitoring disease progression and could be used as a biomarker of lung disease activity and therefore as an important tool for a better understanding of the factors that contribute to the progression of lung disease.
