  • Title: Cardiac tamponade in the early postpartum period as the presenting and predominant manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus.
    Author: Averbuch M, Bojko A, Levo Y.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1986 Apr; 13(2):444-5. PubMed ID: 3723505.
    Abstract:
    Pericarditis is a common manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), however, tamponade seems to be extremely rare. A review of the English literature revealed 12 such cases and in 5 the tamponade was the presenting symptom of the disease. We describe an additional patient. She developed pericardial tamponade one week after delivery of a healthy child, and subsequently was diagnosed to have SLE. The effect of pregnancy and the postpartum period on SLE is discussed.
