Pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium) may be caused by infectious agents, autoimmune disorders, metabolic conditions, or malignancy, or it may be a complication of drug therapy, trauma, cardiac surgery, or smallpox vaccination. Diagnosis, based on clinical findings, electrocardiographic changes, chest radiograph, and ultrasound, may be ...

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1988
Pericarditis is a common but frequently subclinical entity. There are a number of causes, including infection, systemic illness, cardiac disease, trauma, and neoplasm. Iatrogenic causes include surgery, cardiac instrumentation, irradiation, and medications. The clinical presentation varies, depending on the cause.

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 ...

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. Tuberculosis involving closed anatomical spaces such as the pericardium or meninges can cause devastating inflammatory injury, and management with antimicrobial ...

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

Pediatrics, 1955
A review of the literature has revealed 9 instances of pericarditis in fetuses and newborn infants less than 2 days of age. In only 2 of these are the histologic findings available. We have reported the macroscopic and microscopic findings in 2 additional patients with pericarditis, 1 of whom was a premature stillborn fetus.

Purulent pericarditis represents a subset of pericardial disease usually due to a nonviral infectious agent. The presentation is often acute, with rapid progression to tamponade unless a drainage procedure is performed. Although several infectious agents account for the majority of infections, the differential diagnosis is broad.
