Overview
Common causes of HIV induced pericarditis include Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Staphylococcus aureus, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Herpes simplex.
Causes
It is often difficult to identify the etiology of pericardial effusion in HIV-infected patients. The common organisms isolated are:
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is the most common etiology for pericardial effusion in African HIV-infected patients.[1][2]
- Staphylococcus aureus[3] [4]
- Cryptococcus neoformans[5]
- Herpes simplex[6]
Supportive Trial Data
- A retrospective study[7] of 29 patients with AIDS-related pericardial effusion, who underwent fluid cultures and pericardial biopsy, included the following causes:
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis (1%),
- Staphylococcus aureus (1%), and
- Neoplasms (2% adenocarcinoma and 3% lymphoma)
- Another study that evaluated pericardial effusions in 17 patients with HIV,[8] revealed etiologic evidence in 5 patients of which 2 were found to have lymphoma, and 3 others were found to have either staphylococcus aureus, mycobacterium tuberculosis, or a fungal infection.
