About 90% of cases of acute pericarditis have an idiopathic or viral etiology. In some cases, it is possible to identify high-risk patients for whom hospital admission and specific etiology research are mandatory for adequate treatment. Bacterial pericarditis is uncommon and responsible for less than 1% of cases. Only 10 cases of pericarditis due to have been documented worldwide. This case highlights the importance of good cardiac imaging, with the right clinical and microbiology-integrated approach in high-risk cases of pericardial disease.
约90%的急性心包炎病例病因不明或由病毒引起。在某些情况下,有可能识别出高危患者,对其进行住院治疗并开展特定病因研究以进行充分治疗是必要的。细菌性心包炎并不常见,占病例不到1%。全球仅记录到10例由[此处原文缺失具体病因]引起的心包炎病例。该病例凸显了在高危心包疾病病例中采用正确的临床与微生物学综合方法进行良好心脏成像的重要性。
