Epidemiology and Demographics
Tuberculous pericarditis is found in approximately 1-2% of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis[1][2]. It is the most common cause of pericarditis in Africa and other developing countries where TB is a major public health problem[3]. The incidence is increasing rapidly in the presence of HIV[4].
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[5]. In contrast, the incidence of tuberculous pericarditis is 4% in developed countries[6].
