Overview
Tuberculous pericarditis has a variable clinical presentation and should be considered in the evaluation of all cases of pericarditis that are not self-limiting[1]. It is a difficult disease to diagnose and hence several diagnostic tools are employed[2][3]. The history and symptoms are just one such tool.
History and symptoms
The patient may present with the following symptoms:
- Fever
- Weight loss
- Night sweats
- Cough
- Breathlessness
- Chest pain which changes with posture
- Malaise
- Ankle edema
The frequency and severity of the above symptoms varies with the stage of the infection, the degree of involvement of the pericardium, and the degree of extrapericardial infection.
