Detectable prednisolone is delayed in pericardial fluid, compared with plasma of patients with tuberculous pericarditis: A pilot study [PDF]
International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2019 Background: In patients with tuberculous pericarditis [TBP] adjunctive prednisolone reduces the incidence of constrictive pericarditis. It is unknown whether prednisolone permeates adequately into pericardial fluid. Drug measurements in pericardial fluid
