Septic Pulmonary Emboli Detected by (18)F-FDG PET/CT in a Patient with Central Venous Catheter-Related Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia

We describe a case of (18)F-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 (18)F-FDG PET/CT to diagnose unsuspected infectious foci...
