Causes
It is often difficult to identify the etiology of pericardial effusion in HIV-infected patients. The common organisms isolated are:
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is the most common etiology for pericardial effusion in African HIV-infected patients.[1][2]
- Staphylococcus aureus[3] [4]
- Cryptococcus neoformans[5]
- Herpes simplex[6]
Supportive Trial Data
- A retrospective study[7] of 29 patients with AIDS-related pericardial effusion, who underwent fluid cultures and pericardial biopsy, included the following causes:
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis (1%),
- Staphylococcus aureus (1%), and
- Neoplasms (2% adenocarcinoma and 3% lymphoma)
- Another study that evaluated pericardial effusions in 17 patients with HIV,[8] revealed etiologic evidence in 5 patients of which 2 were found to have lymphoma, and 3 others were found to have either staphylococcus aureus, mycobacterium tuberculosis, or a fungal infection.
