Ziel/Aim Given the rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 and emerging evidence of neurological symptoms particularly in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, we examined the impact of COVID-19 on the CNS in inpatients at the subacute stage by F-18-FDG PET. Methodik/Methods We assessed neurological and neuropsychological symptoms (MoCA) and F-18-FDG PET scans in 15 COVID-19 inpatients (once patients were no longer infectious). All scans were visually read using a 3-step rating scale (normal, mildly and severely abnormal). Principal components analysis (PCA;avoiding the need of a currently unknown reference region) was employed to explore whether a spatial covariance pattern exists in COVID-19 (compared to 45 control patients without somatic CNS disease). Exploratory, we assessed mean normalized F-18-FDG uptake (lean body weight- and plasma glucose-adjusted standardized uptake value, SUV) in 10 % voxels with highest covariance weights (positive and negative). Ergebnisse/Results Visual reads indicated pathological results in 10/15 patients (mainly frontotemporal hypometabolism). We detected a highly significant (p .39] in 10 % voxels with most negative and positive weights, respectively). Schlussfolgerungen/Conclusions Neocortical dysfunction accompanied by cognitive impairment was detected in two-thirds of inpatients with subacute COVID-19. A clear indication of regional hypermetabolism (suggesting inflammation) was not found. Follow-up studies are currently underway.

Ziel/Aim Single-patient report on the pattern of CXCR4 expression in a patient presenting with acute respiratory SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19) infection after hybrid imaging with Ga-68-pentixafor-PET/non-ceCT (CXCR4-PET). Methodik/Methods 37-year-old man presenting with pneumonia, severe ARDS, requiring mechanical ventilation and acute supportive therapy. Later diagnose of bacterial superinfection with septic shock, persistent high fever (>40 °C) and elevated inflammation markers, non-responsive to wide-spectrum antibiotics. 178 MBq of Ga-68-pentixafor then administered in accordance with the responsible regulatory body after obtaining informed consent. Whole-body imaging followed on a dedicated PET-scanner 1h post-injection. Low-dose CT scans for attenuation correction were acquired (top of the skull to proximal tibias). Ergebnisse/Results CRCX4-PET showed only faint pulmonary uptake in parallel with significantly enhanced, diffuse tracer-uptake in the bone marrow (spine, thorax and pelvis) as well as in the spleen. Increased CXCR4-expression in the pharyngeal/palatine tonsils, CXCR4-positive lymph nodes in the neck/thorax as well as abdominal/inguinal regions was also reported. Focal soft-tissue uptake was detected in the distal right thigh, showing a characteristic peripheral tracer distribution strongly suggestive of intramuscular inflammatory focus. Schlussfolgerungen/Conclusions Ga-68-pentixafor-PET/low-dose-CT hybrid imaging showed foci of increased CXCR4-expression other than the lungs in a SARS-Cov-2 patient presenting with persistent high fever. Although lacking validation data, this single case suggests a role of CXCR4-targeted hybrid imaging in acute inflammatory conditions such as COVID-19 infections and warrants further prospective studies to evaluate its potential role in guiding clinical management in a more complex setting of systemic, multi-organ infectious/inflammatory disease.
用ga -68- pentxa for pet /non-ceCT (CXCR4- pet)混合成像后急性呼吸道SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19)感染患者中CXCR4表达模式的单例报告。方法37岁男性,临床表现为肺炎,严重急性呼吸窘迫综合征,需要机械通气和急性支持治疗。后来诊断为细菌性重复感染并脓毒性休克,持续高热(bbb40°C)和炎症标志物升高,对广谱抗生素无反应。在获得知情同意后,按照负责监管机构的规定,对178 MBq的ga -68- pentxafor进行管理。注射后1h在专用pet扫描仪上进行全身成像。低剂量CT扫描用于衰减校正(颅骨顶部至胫骨近端)。结果CRCX4-PET仅显示微弱的肺部摄取,同时骨髓(脊柱、胸腔和骨盆)以及脾脏的弥漫性示踪剂摄取显著增强。咽部/腭扁桃体中cxcr4表达增加,颈部/胸部以及腹部/腹股沟区域的cxcr4阳性淋巴结也有报道。在右大腿远端检测到局灶性软组织摄取,表现出强烈提示肌内炎症灶的特征性外周示踪剂分布。ga -68-pentixa - pet /低剂量ct混合成像显示,在持续高热的SARS-Cov-2患者中,除肺部外,还有cxcr4表达升高的病灶。尽管缺乏验证数据,但这一单一病例表明,cxcr4靶向混合成像在COVID-19感染等急性炎症条件下的作用,值得进一步的前瞻性研究,以评估其在更复杂的全身性、多器官感染性/炎症性疾病的指导临床管理中的潜在作用。
