Seven patients with constrictive pericarditis associated with collagen disease underwent pericardiectomy with good results in all but one. The collagen disease was confirmed as rheumatoid arthritis in five patients, but in two its nature remained obscure. In one case the illness was marked by a persistent eosinophilia and eosinophilic infiltration of the pericardium. The association of constrictive pericarditis with rheumatoid arthritis and other collagenoses is briefly discussed.
7例患有与胶原病相关的缩窄性心包炎的患者接受了心包切除术，除1例之外，其余患者效果良好。5例患者的胶原病确诊为类风湿性关节炎，但另外2例的性质仍不明确。1例患者的病情表现为持续性嗜酸性粒细胞增多以及心包的嗜酸性粒细胞浸润。本文简要讨论了缩窄性心包炎与类风湿性关节炎及其他胶原病的关联。
