Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
I have described a patient in whom cardiac tamponade occurred as the initial clinical manifestation of SLE. Although pericarditis is a common clinical entity in SLE, cardiac tamponade with this disease is rare. If suspected, the diagnosis can be made by the proper selection of tests of serum and pericardial fluid, which should include the search for pericardial LE cells. This report emphasizes the importance of screening for connective tissue disease in patients with pericarditis. |
