Details and patient eligibility
About
Objective : To explore the diagnostic contribution of the 18F-FDG-PET/CT in a population of patients with classical fever of unknown origin (FUO), to precise its place in the diagnostic decision tree in a real-life setting and to identify factors associated with a diagnostic 18F-FDG-PET/CT.
Methods: All adult patients (age≥18 years) with a diagnosis of classical FUO who underwent a 18F-FDG-PET/CT in the University Hospital of Montpellier (France) between April 2012 and December 2017 were included. True positive 18F-FDG-PET/CT which evidenced a specific disease causing FUO were considered to be contributive.
