Most patients with severe acute pericarditis should be hospitalized for complete diagnosis and observation for complications, particularly effusion and tamponade. Therapy should be directed at a specific inciting etiologic agent, if identified. In all patients, anti-inflammatory and symptomatic treatment should aim at alleviating pain, fever, and ...

Diseases of the Chest, 1953
1) The general autopsy incidence of pericarditis is 5.95 per cent. This figure changes very little from year to year. 2) The incidence of pericarditis due to bacterial invasion is definitely decreased since the advent of the chemotherapeutic and antibiotic agents. 3) Pericarditis secondary to uremia, cardiovascular diseases and malignancy are

Immunotherapy for Tuberculous Pericarditis
New England Journal of Medicine, 2014Pericardial tuberculosis is an important clinical problem in resource-limited countries, particularly in those with concomitant epidemics of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
