  • Title: Cholesterol crystals and IgE-containing immune complexes in rheumatoid pericarditis.
    Author: Van Offel JF, De Clerck LS, Kersschot IE.
    Journal: Clin Rheumatol; 1991 Mar; 10(1):78-80. PubMed ID: 2065512.
    Abstract:
    A 72-year-old rheumatoid arthritis patient is described presenting with acute dyspnoea and peripheral oedema. A pericardial effusion with signs of tamponade was diagnosed. Examination of the pericardial fluid revealed the presence of cholesterol crystals and IgE-containing immune complexes. The significance of these findings in the differential diagnosis of pericardial disease is discussed.
