Fever in children is common. If it persists and its cause cannot be identified in a reasonable time, along with laboratory and conventional imaging investigations, it is defined as fever of unknown origin (FUO). 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) is well established in the evaluation of malignancy, which is a possible cause of FUO. FDG often locates inflammatory and infectious lesions considered nonspecific or false-positive for oncology; however, these findings are beneficial in FUO evaluation because infectious and inflammatory diseases are important FUO causes. FDG-PET/CT is being increasingly used for investigation of FUO as well as infectious/inflammatory disease. 2020-08-25T10:31:08Z 2020-08-25T10:31:08Z 2020-07-01 Review PET Clinics.
