Tuberculous pericarditis

South Sudan Medical Journal, 2022

Tuberculous Pericarditis—Own Experiences and Recent Recommendations

Diagnostics, 2022
Tuberculous pericarditis (TBP) accounts for 1% of all forms of tuberculosis and for 1–2% of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. In endemic regions, TBP accounts for 50–90% of effusive pericarditis; in non-endemic, it only accounts for 4%.
