| Abstract | Purpose of the study Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is a challenging clinical entity in HIV patients. FDG-PET/CT is well validated in the work-up of FUO in HIV-negative patients but in HIV viremic patients, metabolism of HIV reactive lymph nodes could decrease its specificity. We prospectively evaluated the usefulness of FDG-PET/CT in FUO in HIV-positive patients and in particular whether HIV viremia impacts on FDG-PET/CT performance. |
