description Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of leukemia in childhood and accounts for 85% of cases. ALL frequently presents as an infectious process with an abrupt onset of high fever. Thyroid disease has been reported to have a strong association with acute leukemia. Gallium (Ga-67) citrate has been used in the investigation of patients labeled as having pyrexia of unknown origin. We report a case of a 13-year-old female patient who presented with fever and suspected disease relapse after a period of disease remission; however, gallium-67 citrate whole body scan suggested the diagnosis of thyroiditis.
