    Pacemaker-related infection detected by F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography

    Lead endocarditis (LE) is one of the most feared complications and remains a challenging diagnosis in cardiology due to the possibility of an obscure clinical course and symptoms, leading to a delayed diagnosis, or even no diagnosis. F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) appears to be a valuable imaging technique and has been shown to have advantages in the diagnosis of patients with fever of unknown origin. We present the case of a 52-year-old man with a 3-year history of intermittent fever, chills, anemia, and weight loss (13 kg). He was submitted to an extensive investigation to clarify his symptoms and all results were negative. LE was finally diagnosed by FDG PET/CT. This examination could become a useful noninvasive method for the detection of LE at an earlier stage, thus avoiding repeated tests and reducing the length of hospital stay.

    PET/Computed Tomography Evaluation of Infection of the Heart
    (2019) MILLAR, Beverley Cherie; CAMARGO, Raphael Abegao de; ALAVI, Abass; MOORE, John Edmund
    The 2015 European Society of Cardiology guidelines for the management of infective endocarditis included 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) in the diagnostic work-up of prosthetic valve endocarditis. This article examines the literature from the last 3 years to highlight the additional role 18F-FDG-PET/CT can contribute to an accurate diagnosis of cardiac infections and associated infectious complications. The challenges and pitfalls associated with 18F-FDG-PET/CT in such clinical settings must be recognized and these are discussed along with the suggested protocols that may be incorporated in an attempt to address these issues.
