  • Title: Haemophilus influenzae pericarditis with tamponade as the initial presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus.
    Author: Yeh YH, Chu PH, Yeh CH, Wu YJ, Lee MH, Jung SM, Kuo CT.
    Journal: Int J Clin Pract; 2004 Nov; 58(11):1045-7. PubMed ID: 15605669.
    Abstract:
    Although cardiac tamponade is an important and emergent complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), purulent pericarditis is rare despite the high frequency of pericardial effusion in SLE. We describe the first SLE case of Haemophilus influenzae type-f pericarditis with cardiac tamponade with SLE as the initial presentation. The pathophysiology and therapy are discussed.
