Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- Pericardial effusion is common among asymptomatic HIV positive patients.
- Large effusions causing tamponade is rare.
- HAART therapy regimen of HIV positive patients has decreased the incidence of pericarditis and pericardial effusion considerably.
- HIV related pericarditis is usually caused by tuberculosis.
- associated myocarditis is present in approximately one -third of cases.
- It has high mortality.
- pericardiocentesis is essential in order to a diagnosis of the main cause of pericardial effusion, it include:[1][2]. However, majority of the cases of pericarditis are of unknown etiology. Other causes of pericarditis in AIDS include [3][4][5][6]:
- Staphylococcal infection
- Streptococcal infection
- Lymphoma
- Kaposi sarcoma
- Atypical mycobacteria
- Nocardia asteroides
- Listeria monocytogenes
- Rhodococcus equi
- Chlamydia trachomatis
- Rarely Cryptococcus, and Aspergillus
