Pericarditis Putrid

PG (R. Putrida) - acute or chronic inflammation of the layers of the visceral and parietal pericardium, not associated with obvious involvement of the heart in the process.

The clinical picture is characterized by chest pain, tachycardia, leukocytosis, and positive results on the Lee test. P. Chronic chronic P. g. occurs subclinically and without specific treatment can lead to cardiac complications without a clear definition of the cause. Diagnosis of P. x. is based on the patient's complete history, but often requires diagnostic tests. Some symptoms (such as weight loss) may indicate a disease (rarely diagnosed) as it can mimic hyperthyroidism, celiac disease, and esophageal disease. Treatment of P. x. - surgical removal of the affected area of ​​the pericardium.
