In- 111-labeled leukocyte imaging: false-positive study due to acute gastrointestinal bleeding

J Nucl Med. 1983 Sep;24(9):803-4.

Abstract

A case is reported in which In- 111-labeled leukocytes accumulated in the left colon on a 24-hr delayed image. This was found to be secondary to an upper gastrointestinal bleed in progress at the time of injection of the radiolabeled leukocytes.
