Constrictive tuberculous pericarditis in a HIV-positive patient [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2001
Constrictive pericarditis is a relatively rare clinical manifestation nowadays. We present the case of an HIV-positive patient with constrictive calcified pericarditis due to an infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Pericardectomy was performed. The therapeutical approach is discussed and the literature is reviewed.

Disseminated Thoracic Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infection Mimicking Tuberculosis in a Patient on Haemodialysis

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Disseminated thoracic MRSA infection may mimic tuberculosis with cavitary lung disease, pleural empyema and pericardial involvement. Bedside point‐of‐care ultrasound facilitated early recognition of multi‐compartment thoracic suppuration and guided prompt drainage.

Primary Pericardial Angiosarcoma Demonstrating Initial Response Followed by Progression on First‐Line Chemotherapy: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Primary pericardial angiosarcoma is an exceedingly rare and highly aggressive malignancy arising from pericardial endothelial cells, with a reported median survival of approximately 7 months. Owing to its non‐specific clinical presentation, diagnosis is frequently delayed, particularly in tuberculosis‐endemic regions, where symptoms may be ...

From Tumor Marker to Congestion Indicator: The Expanding Role of CA‐125 in Heart Failure and Beyond

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims To evaluate the transition of Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA‐125) from an ovarian tumor marker to a versatile indicator of systemic congestion and fluid overload. Methods A literature review (1984–2025) was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Keywords included “CA‐125,” “systemic congestion,” and related terms.

The Optimal Duration of Anti-Tuberculous Therapy Before Pericardiectomy in Constrictive Tuberculous Pericarditis [PDF]

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020
Abstract Background: It is unclear about the duration of anti-tuberculous therapy before pericardiectomy (DATT) in the patients with constrictive tuberculous pericarditis. This study aims to explore the optimal DATT and its impacts in these patients.Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 93 patients with constrictive tuberculous pericarditis ...

Bosutinib‐Associated Cardiac Tamponade: Late‐Onset Treatment‐Emergent Adverse Event—A Case Report

Case Reports in Cardiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Fluid retention due to tyrosine kinase inhibitor administration might lead to pericardial effusion and right heart failure. Here, we present the case of a 63‐year‐old man with subacute cardiac tamponade complicated with heart failure, acute kidney injury, and generalized edema due to the bosutinib treatment.

Causal Association Between Plasma Proteins and Pericarditis: A Mendelian Randomization Study With Therapeutic Target Identification

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Observational studies demonstrate that pro‐inflammatory cytokines play a critical role in pericarditis. However, the causal association between circulating plasma proteins and pericarditis remains unestablished. Objective This research aimed to assess the causal association between plasma proteins and pericarditis and to investigate ...

Is It an Intrapericardial Mass or a Localized Pericardial Effusion? A Case Report of Tuberculous Pericarditis Evaluated by Multimodal Imaging

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 9, Page 2189-2194, November/December 2025.
Tuberculous pericarditis is a common type of pericarditis, but it is difficult to be diagnosed. The application of combined transesophageal echocardiography, contrast echocardiography, and CT multimodal imaging provides sufficient clinical diagnosis basis and guidance for distinguishing encapsulated pericardial effusion or mass.

Navigating Diagnostic Dilemmas in Cardiology: A Rare Case Report of Tuberculosis Presenting as a Cardiac Abscess

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Cardiac tuberculosis (TB) is a rare but important extrapulmonary form of TB that often presents diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms and its ability to mimic other cardiac conditions. We report the case of a 45‐year‐old woman with end‐stage renal disease secondary to granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) who presented with fever ...
