    Author: Amin-Beidokhty A, Norouzi Z, Amiri A, Almasian M, Azadi A, Kheirollahi AR.
    Journal: Int J Mycobacteriol; 2016 Sep; 5(3):360-365. PubMed ID: 27847027.
    Abstract:
    Pericardial tuberculosis (TB) is rare, but has particularly severe complications and a high mortality rate when not treated. Prompt treatment of pericardial TB is important and can be life-saving. We report a 13-year-old girl with massive pericardial effusion and negative workup for TB, who was empirically treated with an excellent response.
