Abstract

$^{67}Ga$ Scanning may be a useful adjuvant in screening for suspected extrapulmonary tuberculosis and in assessing the response of therapy. A 52-year-old man with renal tuberculosis showed a renal localization of $^{67}Ga-citrate$ scans. Follow-up Scans after 3 months of chemotherapy showed decrease in uptake. So we present a case with the brief review of literatures.
