Innate Lymphoid Cells Play a Pathogenic Role in Pericarditis

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: We find that cardiac group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are essential for the development of IL-33-induced eosinophilic pericarditis. We show a pathogenic role for ILC2s in cardiac inflammation, in which ILC2s activated by IL-33 drive the ...

Melioidosis Pericarditis Mimicking Tuberculous Pericarditis [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2010
Cases of melioidosis (N = 2) and tuberculous pericarditis (N = 33) during 1996-2006 were reviewed. Clinical presentations were similar, but pericardial pathological findings were not. Nine of 12 patients with melioidosis required pericardectomy.
