Disseminated Bartonella henselae Infection Visualized by [18F]FDG-PET/CT and MRI

A new case study describes a patient with Crohn's disease, an autoimmune disease, who was on medications to suppress his immune system and became sick. PET and MRI imaging revealed abscesses and other inflammatory abnormalities in his organs and bones that gave the appearance the man may have cancer. However, a biopsy of a lesion in his liver revealed a kind of inflammation that is sometimes associated with infection. Further testing revealed the cause was Bartonella henselae.
