Excerpt

We report on a case of fever of unknown origin (FUO) in which ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT assisted in depicting renal inflammation and eventually led to a histologically confirmed diagnosis of microscopic polyangiitis (MP). MP is an autoimmune disease characterized by systemic necrotizing, small-vessel vasculitis without clinical or pathological evidence of necrotizing granulomatous inflammation. The kidneys, skin, joints, muscles, peripheral nerves and gastrointestinal tract are the most commonly affected organs. …
