Infectious Pericarditis

Abstract

Sıklıkla kendi kendini sınırlayabilen, nedeni belli olmayan ve enfeksiyöz nedenlerin etyolojide önde geldiği perikardit hastalığında nadir durumlarda ölüm görülebilir. Miyokardı çevreleyen ince zar özellikle viral organizmalar tarafından enfekte olmaktadır. Burada, yakın zamanda yayınlanan Türk ve dünya literatürüne göz atılacak ve Epstein Barr virüs, H1N1 virüs ve tüberküloz gibi perikardite ve hatta tamponada neden olabilen mikroorganizmalar tartışılacaktır. Enfeksiyon kaynağı olarak perikardiyal efüzyon, konstriktif ve kristal perikarditleri ile karşımıza çıkan nadir parazit enfestasyonlarını da keza bulabilecek ve miksödem ve üremi gibi metabolik olaylarlarla nadiren olan birlikteliklerini okuyacaksınız

Infectious Pericarditis

Abstract

Mostly self-limited with an idiopathic or infectious etiology, pericarditis may be fatal in rare occasions. Thiny layer surrounding myocardium is infected especially by viral organisms. Here, a recent Turkish and world literature will be reviewed and cases of Epstein Barr virus, H1N1 virus as well as tuberculosis microorganisms leading to pericarditis and even tamponade will be discussed. You will also find rare parasitic infestations presenting with pericardial effusion, constrictive and crystal pericarditis of infectious origin and read other rare metabolic associations such as myxedema and uremia
