BACKGROUND: Imaging technique 18 Fluorine-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) combines positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) and presents great utility in the diagnosis, staging and follow-up of neoplasms. However, its usefulness in diagnosing and managing infectious processes is still being studied. Compared to other imaging techniques, it has some advantages, such as accuracy in detecting sources of infection or the overall patient assessment, although it also has limitations. OBJECTIVE: Our main objective is to demonstrate the usefulness of the 18F-FDG PET/CT test in different infectious indications and analyze the diagnostic value and its correlation with suspected diagnoses. Secondary endpoints were included to evaluate the usefulness of PET/CT in the clinical management of patients and predictors of PET/CT positivity. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: This retrospective study analyzed data from 89 patients, most of whom were male (71.9%), with a mean age of 64.5 years old. Predominant symptoms include fever (68.5%) and respiratory symptoms (38.2%). The most common previous complementary tests performed were microbiological (89.9%) and imaging (94.4%). Indications for PET/CT were fever of unknown origin (27%), focal infections (20.2%), bacteremia (34.8%), and immunocompromised patients (18%). Results showed diagnostic confirmation in 60.7% of cases. Evaluation of its usefulness (confirmation and unexpected findings) reached 76.4%. Only 9.5% of patients without an initial diagnosis after PET/CT obtained a confirmatory diagnosis later. In the subgroup study, fever of unknown origin was associated with a lower probability of confirmation and usefulness, while focal infection was associated with a higher probability of diagnosis confirmation. Nevertheless, after performing a multivariate analysis these associations were not maintained, due to the limited sample size. CONCLUSION: Diagnostic confirmation is significantly better in patients with focal infection, trying to provide with our work a subgroup analysis to optimize the diagnostic yield of PET/CT in some specific indications of infectious diseases.
