Tuberculosis is a common cause of pericarditis in the developing countries and constrictive pericarditis is a serious sequel. There are only three cases of constrictive pericarditis in kidney transplant recipients previously reported in literature. Here, we report a case of constrictive pericarditis developing in a renal transplant recipient while on antituberculous therapy for tuberculous pleural effusion.
在发展中国家，结核病是心包炎的常见病因，而缩窄性心包炎是其严重的后遗症。此前文献仅报道过3例肾移植受者发生缩窄性心包炎的病例。在此，我们报告1例肾移植受者在接受结核性胸腔积液抗结核治疗期间发生缩窄性心包炎的病例。
