WHAT LEUKOSCAN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
An antibody is a natural substance made by the body which binds to
foreign substances to help remove
them from your body. You produce many different kinds of antibodies.
LeukoScan (sulesomab) is a special kind of antibody which binds to the
surface of certain kinds of blood
cells called leukocytes. It is produced in mice and purified so that
it can be used in humans. When it is
combined to the radioactive technetium isotope and injected into your
vein, it finds an abnormal
accumulation of white blood cells and attaches to them. One to eight
hours later after the injection you
will be placed on a special table and pictures will be taken with
standard nuclear cameras. This helps your
doctor make a diagnosis and evaluate the extent of your illness. The
doctor does this by using a special
imaging camera that reveals areas of radioactivity to see where the
infections are located. This medicine
is for diagnostic use only.
LeukoScan is used to determine the presence of infections in long
bones. Shortly after mixing the
LeukoScan with the radioactive technetium isotope, the doctor will

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
This medicinal product is for diagnostic use only.
LeukoScan is indicated for diagnostic imaging for determining the
location and extent of
infection/inflammation in bone in patients with suspected
osteomyelitis, including patients with diabetic
foot ulcers.
LeukoScan has not been employed to diagnose osteomyelitis in patients
with sickle cell anaemia.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
The radiolabelled solution should be administered as an intravenous
injection. After injection, any
remaining portion of the reconstituted solution should be discarded.
LeukoScan is not recommended for use in children.
Formal studies have not been performed in patients with renal or
hepatic impairment. However, due to the
low dose of protein administered and the short half-life of
99m
Tc, dosage adjustment is probably not
necessary in such patients.
Radiopharmaceutical agents should be used only by qualified personnel
with appropriate government
authorisation for the use and manipulation of radionuclides.
