Tuberculous Meningitis following Pericardiectomy for Constrictive Pericarditis
View through CrossRef
We report a ease of recurrent calcified chronic constrictive pericarditis of 31 years' duration, complicated by the development of tuberculous meningitis two weeks after a third pericardiectomy. It is suggested that all patients undergoing pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis should have anti-tuberculous therapy even in the absence of an established tuberculous aetiology.
