Abstract

The radiographic features of pericarditis due to Histoplasma capsulatum are described in 5 children. This diagnosis is suggested when enlargement of the cardiac silhouette is associated with pneumonia, parenchymal nodules or adenopathy. These findings are particularly significant if the patient lives or has lived in an area which is endemic for histoplasmosis. While pleural effusion is rare in primary histoplasmosis, it is frequently present in patients with histoplasma pericarditis.

摘要

本文描述了5例因荚膜组织胞浆菌引起的心包炎患儿的影像学特征。当心脏轮廓增大与肺炎、实质结节或腺病相关时，应考虑该诊断。如果患者居住或曾居住在组织胞浆菌病流行地区，这些发现尤为重要。虽然胸腔积液在原发性组织胞浆菌病中很少见，但在组织胞浆菌性心包炎患者中却很常见。
