Tuberculous pericarditis, one of the rarer extrapulmonary manifestations of tuberculosis, remains a challenge in endemic countries such as India. As the clinical presentation of tuberculous pericarditis is highly variable, the diagnosis is often missed, delayed, or incorrectly diagnosed. Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is one of tuberculous pericarditis's most serious and advanced sequelae. Several invasive and non-invasive diagnostic modalities are crucial to address the challenges of confirming the diagnosis of CP in suspected cases. This study reports the case of an Indian adult female with a past history of previously treated abdominal tuberculosis diagnosed anew with tuberculous calcific constrictive pericarditis.
结核性心包炎是结核病较罕见的肺外表现之一，在印度等流行国家仍然是一个挑战。由于结核性心包炎的临床表现高度多变，诊断常常被漏诊、延误或误诊。缩窄性心包炎（CP）是结核性心包炎最严重和最晚期的后遗症之一。对于疑似病例，几种有创和无创诊断方法对于应对确诊CP的挑战至关重要。本研究报告了一例有腹部结核既往治疗史的印度成年女性，被重新诊断为结核性钙化缩窄性心包炎的病例。
