    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Tuberculous pericarditis presents a significant mortality risk (20-40%).
    • Timely diagnosis and treatment are essential for patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • Open pericardial biopsy is identified as the most reliable diagnostic method.
    • Corticosteroids combined with antituberculous medication effectively manage the inflammatory response.

    Findings:

    • Early granulomatous inflammation in tuberculous pericarditis can be suppressed by combined therapy.
    • Pericardiectomy is a viable option for refractory cases.

    Implications:

    • Aggressive early management strategies improve survival rates for tuberculous pericarditis.
    • This approach highlights the importance of diagnostic accuracy and timely therapeutic intervention.
