Abstract
Several authors have used labelled leucocytes to detect inflammatory foci in cases of infection. 51-Cr was the first marker used for in-vivo detection but its high photon energy, the high rate of conversion and its long physical halflife are obvious j disadvantages. Other gamma emitters such as 67-Ga have also been suggested for human leucocyte labelling and for direct intravenous administration in abscess detection (1). Since the development of 111-In-hydroxyquinoline (i.e. oxine resp. oxinate in the case of the salt), as described by Thakur et al. (2), several centres have used it for the clinical detection of abscesses and many variations of the technique have been tried (3).
