Article Synopsis
- The patient has a history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and chronic hepatitis B with cirrhosis, presenting with shortness of breath, coughing, weight loss, and fatigue over a span of two weeks.
- A chest imaging revealed enlarged heart (cardiomegaly) and a significant accumulation of fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion), prompting the need for a pericardial drain and fluid analysis.
- Initial tests indicated a very high level of adenosine deaminase (ADA) in the pericardial fluid, suggesting a possible case of tuberculosis, leading to the start of empirical tuberculosis treatment.
