AB  - Infectious complications of haemodialysis in patients with arteriovenous fistula 
      stent are rare. In addition, patients with low-grade infection are more difficult 
      to diagnose. Here, we report the first case of low-grade infection of an 
      arteriovenous fistula stent diagnosed using (99m)Tc-hexamethylpropylene amine 
      oxime (HMPAO)-labelled leucocyte scintigraphy. A 62-year-old man with end-stage 
      renal disease was referred for prolonged fever. We performed 
      (99m)Tc-HMPAO-labelled leucocyte scintigraphy following a work-up according to 
      fever of unknown origin. A focal uptake on the left forearm compatible with the 
      arteriovenous fistula stent insertion site was shown, and the stent was removed. 
      (99m)Tc-HMPAO-labelled leucocyte scintigraphy could be a suitable method for 
      assessing vascular stent infection in low-grade fever.
