What symptom can pericarditis that tuberculosis causes have


Building bridges to better health.
The symptoms of pericarditis caused by pulmonary tuberculosis may be called tuberculous pericarditis. There is usually no fever or chest pain. The white blood cell count is usually normal or slightly elevated. Blood culture is also negative. It may show a large amount of pericardial effusion, mostly bloody. The cell classification is lymphocytosis. If bacteria are present, Mycobacterium tuberculosis may sometimes be found. It is usually associated with primary tuberculosis and other pericardial tuberculosis. It can be diagnosed by bag puncture and drainage to find tuberculosis bacilli. Anti-tuberculosis treatment is usually required. Tuberculosis pericarditis can occur repeatedly and gradually develop into a recurrent, chronic constrictive pericarditis, so we need to treat it with some hormones.
