Overview
Laboratory findings depend on the type of disease affecting the heart. Culture and serology are used to diagnose infections causing pericarditis and myocarditis.
Laboratory Findings
- Cutaneous anergy is common in AIDS due to immunosuppression.[1] Therefore a negative skin test for tuberculosis does not exclude the diagnosis of tuberculous pericarditis. Hence, pericardial biopsy is a more sensitive and preferred diagnostic test over smears and cultures.[2]
- Other infections that cause pericarditis can be diagnosed by staining, culture and smears.[3]
