Pathophysiology

Patients with advanced HIV have pericardial involvement at some point and the most common abnormality is pericardial effusion.

• Asymptomatic effusions are mostly small and idiopathic.
• In advanced HIV disease, effusions are a part of generalized seroeffusive process (capillary leak) involving pleural and peritoneal surfaces, possibly related to enhanced cytokine expression, resulting in moderate to large effusions.
• Congestive heart failure, Kaposi sarcoma, and tuberculosis are independently associated with moderate to large effusions.
