Figure 1 An 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography scan in a dialysis patient with extrapulmonary tuberculosis. (A) A scan obtained for workup of fever of unknown origin demonstrates a focus of inflammation in a lymph node located in the right clavicular fossa (arrow), which resolves (B) after initiating antituberculous treatment for presumed tuberculosis based on positive results of interferon γ release assay.
