The usefulness of brain perfusion SPECT in an infant with focal convulsions associated with hemophilus influenzae central nervous system infection.
Left hemiconvulsions occurred in a 13-month-old girl with Hemophilus influenzae (H. influenzae) central nervous system (CNS) infection. Tc-99m HMPAO brain SPECT showed a focal hyperperfusion area in the right frontal lobe. The patient recovered without complications, and follow-up SPECT revealed markedly improved findings. Tc-99m HMPAO brain SPECT is useful for evaluating focal convulsions associated with H. influenzae CNS infection.

Septic Haemophilus influenzae polyarthritis demonstrated best with Tc-99m HMPAO labeled leukocytes.
A 5-year-old girl with fever and tenderness in her left wrist and right ankle was hospitalized. Bone scanning and Tc-99m labeled leukocyte imaging showed increased uptake in these joints and also in her left knee. These radionuclide methods helped determine the diagnosis and were superior to plain radiography and CT scanning. Uptake was greater on leukocyte imaging than it was on the bone scan. The patient had infectious polyarthritis caused by Haemophilus influenzae, which is a very rare cause of acute polyarthritis in children older than 2 years. The patient fully recovered with antibiotic therapy, and no surgical procedure was needed.
