Overview
Echocardiography or Ultrasound can be helpful in patients who develop pericardial effusion secondary to TB.[1]
Echocardiography
Patients with HIV have a high susceptibility for extra pulmonary tuberculosis including tuberculous pericarditis. Echocardiography is a good tool in diagnosing this extra pulmonary manifestation.
The common findings in echo are as follows
- Pericardial thickening
- Pericardial effusion classified as mild, moderate and severe
- Exudative deposits with echo dense mass around epicardium.
- Fibrin strands from pericardium protruding or crossing the pericardial space.[2]
