Case Report (n=1)
Tuberculous myopericarditis can present with an atypical clinical picture, such as atrial flutter and arthralgia without a primary focus of infection, requiring high clinical suspicion and specific testing.
Скрипка et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Tuberculous Myopericarditis (n=1). Antituberculous treatment was evaluated on Clinical improvement (temperature normalized, atrial flutter episodes and arthralgia diminished). Antituberculous treatment for several months normalized temperature and diminished atrial flutter episodes and arthralgia in a 53-year-old male with atypical tuberculous myopericarditis.
