Avaliação de atividade inflamatória na osteomielite crônica. Contribuição da cintilografia com anticorpos policlonais

Abstract: RESUMO -OBJETIVO. O diagnóstico de osteomielite crônica em atividade ou sobreposta a outras patologias é difícil, pois estas situações mascaram os achados radiológicos de infecção. A especificidade da cintilografia do esqueleto ou com gálio-67 também é reduzida pela influência da remodelação óssea na captação destes radiofár-macos. Anticorpos policlonais marcados com tecnécio-99m (Tc-99m-IgG) apresentam captação independente do metabolismo ósseo, sendo um dos radiofármacos em investigação para avaliação mais e… Show more

“…The gallium-67 examination is best suited for osteomyelitis complications, except for the spine. 13 15 Bone marrow activity can be assessed indirectly by local labeling with technetium-99m colloid in a three-phase examination.…”

“…Clinical-radiological criteria can be used, especially with patients who present low probability of infection, avoiding invasive procedures such as the scintigraphy, which is, in some cases, nonconclusive. 10 In cases of chronic osteomyelitis, a radiolucent and circumscribed image can be seen, presenting central radiopaque sequestra and enlarged radiopacities of the surrounding bone due to a local osteogenic reaction. 3 Patients who present active chronic osteomyelitis usually require long-term use of antibiotic therapy and, in some cases surgical intervention is indicated.…”
