Impact of [18F] FDG PET/CT on outcomes in patients with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia: A retrospective single-center experience
In this real-life cohort, patients with SAB having undergone [<sup>18</sup>F] FDG PET/CT experienced lower mortality rates, highlighting the additional value of [<sup>18</sup>F] FDG PET/CT in SAB management. Further research is needed to identify the subpopulations that would benefit most from the integration of [<sup>18</sup>F] FDG PET/CT in their work-up.
