During a small outbreak of trichinosis, two of four symptomatic patients developed moderate to large pericardial effusions. In neither was there ventricular dilatation nor impairment of systolic function. These observations suggest that pericardial effusion is more common than previously appreciated and that it may have a role in the genesis of the symptoms and signs mimicking congestive heart failure which occasionally complicate the course of this illness.
在旋毛虫病的一次小范围暴发中，4名出现症状的患者中有2名出现了中度至大量的心包积液。两人均未出现心室扩张或收缩功能受损。这些观察结果表明，心包积液比之前认为的更为常见，并且它可能在模仿充血性心力衰竭的症状和体征的发生过程中起作用，而这些症状和体征偶尔会使这种疾病的病程复杂化。
