A Rare Case of Pulmonary Schistosomiasis: (18)F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Findings

Schistosomiasis is a helminthic infection acquired through direct contact with contaminated fresh water. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case pulmonary of schistosomias is evaluated with (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) re...

description Schistosomiasis is a helminthic infection acquired through direct contact with contaminated fresh water. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case pulmonary of schistosomias is evaluated with (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) reported in the literature. Functional imaging with (18)F-FDG PET/CT may help in the diagnosis of schistosomiasis, leading to a correct definition of the disease extension.
