Department of Medicine and Cardiology, Chest Hospital, Kuwait.
Background: Tuberculous pericardial effusion is most often due to the spread of tuberculosis from the mediastinal lymph glands; however, no attempt has yet been made to study these glands. We studied the mediastinal glands in proven tuberculous pericardial effusion patients and hypothesized that the findings may be of use in the etiological diagnosis of pericardial effusion.
Methods And Results: We studied 45 patients with large pericardial effusion or tamponade.
