Presentation
Fibrinous pericarditis was present, with a definite membrane of fibrin present over most of the heart. When peeled away this left slightly congested surfaces. The heart weighed 400 gm. [dokumen.tips]
This patient had no access to formal healthcare and presented with a now rare and “forgotten” clinical entity. [shmabstracts.com]
This is a case presentation of 27 year male with past medical history of unspecified congenital heart disease, presented with worsening shortness of breath, pleuritic chest pain, cough and hemoptysis for five days duration. [imedpub.com]
Respiratoric
- Coarse Rales
He had marked pallor, with a hyperdynamic precordium and coarse rales bilaterally. There was no jugular venous distension, pericardial friction rub, stupor, asterixis or peripheral edema. [shmabstracts.com]
Musculoskeletal
- Costovertebral Angle Tenderness
No costovertebral angle tenderness was found. Examination of the rectum, pelvis and extremities re- vealed no abnormalities. On admission the hemoglobin was 13.3 gm. per cent and the hematocrit, 42 volumes per cent. [dokumen.tips]
Workup
Workup to identify the predisposing factor including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), parvovirus (B19), cytomegalovirus (CMV), quantiferon tuberculosis testing were all negative. Genetic testing was deferred to the outpatient setting. [imedpub.com]

Now, although empiric antibiotic coverage is mainly based on the treatment setting, the diagnostic workup and empiric antibiotics can differ a bit based on the organisms that are suspected based on the appearance of the chest x-ray. [osmosis.org]
The workup to define antibiotic failure includes a tube dilution MIC/MBC ratio; the higher the ratio, the greater limitation of antibiotics. A serum bacteriocidal level (Schlicter test) is also useful. [antimicrobe.org]
X-Ray
- Pulmonary Infiltrate
On day 6, an AP chest radiograph displayed increased pulmonary vasculature accompanied by bilateral patchy amorphous dense areas. Pulmonary infiltrates partially obscured the margins of the heart, enhancing bilateral air bronchograms (Figure 3). [mdmag.com]

Do not delay the start of treatment while waiting for the culture results (A-1). Treatment: 1. Obtain samples for culture before initiating the empirical treatment, if possible (A-3). 2. Initiate empirical treatment as soon as possible (A-3). 3. [archbronconeumol.org]
The goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation in the eye. [healthline.com]
What's the treatment for uveitis? Uveitis treatments primarily try to eliminate inflammation, alleviate pain, prevent further tissue damage, and restore any loss of vision. Treatments depend on the type of uveitis a patient displays. [nei.nih.gov]
What is the treatment for anterior uveitis? For most people with anterior uveitis a course of eye drops is all the treatment needed to clear up the inflammation. [rnib.org.uk]
