Epidemiology and Demographics
Tuberculous pericarditis is found in approximately 1-2% of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis It is the most common cause of pericarditis in Africa and other developing countries where TB is a major public health problem[1]. The incidence is increasing rapidly in the presence of HIV[2].
In a study in Western Cape Province of South Africa, tuberculous pericarditis was noted in 69.5% of patients who were referred for diagnostic pericardiocentesis. It should noted that one half of the patients were infected with HIV[3]. In contrast, the incidence of tuberculous pericarditis is 4% in developed countries[4].
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- The prevalence of tuberculous pericarditis is approximately 1-2% of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.[5][6]
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- In [year], the incidence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [number range]%.
- The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [disease name] is approximately [number range].
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop tuberculous pericarditis.
- The incidence of tuberculous pericarditis increases with age.
- Tuberculous pericarditis commonly affects elderly
Race
- Tuberculous pericarditis usually affects individuals of the black race.
Gender
- Men are more commonly affected by tuberculous pericarditis than female.
Region
- Since the prevalence of tuberculous pericarditis may follow tuberculosis prevalence, The majority of tuberculous pericarditis cases are reported in:
- South Africa
- Indonesia
- Nigeria
- Pakistan
- India
- China
Developed Countries
- After the resurgence of TB in the mid-1980s, the number of case counts steadily increased, peaking in 1992.[7]
- Since the 1992 TB resurgence peak in the United States, the number of TB cases reported has decreased annually.
- The year 2014 marked the twenty-second year of decline in the total number of TB cases reported in the United States since the peak of the resurgence.
- In 2014, a total of 9,421 cases were reported from the 50 states and the District of Columbia (DC).
- This represented a decline of 1.5% from 2013.
- The number of cases per 100,000 in 2013 and 2014 has been stable at a rate of 3.0.
