99Tcm-HMPAO leucocyte labelling in orofacial granulomatosis and gastrointestinal Crohn's disease in childhood and early adulthood.
Orofacial granulomatosis is a granulomatous inflammatory disorder, affecting the soft tissues of the face and mouth. The predominant feature is disfiguring lip swelling. Patients with this condition may be exhibiting a Type IV hypersensitivity reaction to dietary or environmental allergens, or these may be the orofacial manifestations of underlying gastrointestinal Crohn's disease. The results of 99Tcm-HMPAO leucocyte labelling of the gastrointestinal tract in 14 patients with orofacial granulomatosis and 15 patients with known gastrointestinal Crohn's disease are presented, indicating that this is a useful and non-invasive screening test for the identification of gastrointestinal Crohn's disease in paediatric and young adult patients presenting with orofacial granulomatosis.
