Tuberculosis pericarditis
is an inflammatory disease caused by infection of pericardial tissue by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. If it is in the early stage of the disease, the heart structure has not changed at this time. Active treatment can control the infection and eliminate inflammation. Generally, it can be cured. However, if the disease continues to worsen, it may cause constrictive pericarditis. At this time, it is difficult to treat, and some patients may develop drug resistance, resulting in infection that is not controlled for a long time. At this time, there may be no rule of law.
