January 2023
Article Synopsis
- The article discusses the common conditions of pericarditis and pericardial effusion, noting that they typically do not lead to cardiac tamponade.
- It presents a case of a 59-year-old woman whose symptoms and medical history suggested a VZV infection leading to cardiac complications.
- The findings indicate that varicella zoster virus should be considered in similar cases, especially when patients show signs of a dermatomal rash along with hemodynamic instability.
