Abstract

We describe a case of 18F-FDG PET/CT detecting septic pulmonary emboli in a patient with Staphylococcus aureus catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI). The patient, who had an implantable venous access port for chemotherapy, underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT to diagnose unsuspected infectious foci. The PET/CT examination made it possible to offer a suggestive diagnosis and yielded metastatic infectious foci.
