Epidemiology in Developed Countries

  • Pericarditis in developed countries is most often of viral origin[1][2][3].Pericarditis most often affects men aged 20 - 50. It usually follows respiratory infections, most commonly echovirus or coxsackie virus. In children, it is most commonly caused by adenovirus or coxsackie virus. The incidence and prevalence of viral pericarditis varies with season and region.

Epidemiology in Developing Countries

  • Pericarditis secondary to HIV[4] and tuberculosis is one of the major cause of acute pericarditis in developing countries. Tuberculous pericarditis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is found in approximately 1% of all autopsied cases of TB and in 1% to 2% of instances of pulmonary TB[5]. It accounted for 69.5% (162 of 233) of cases referred for diagnostic pericardiocentesis in a study in Western Cape Province of South Africa[6] while the same accounts for 4% of cases in developed countries[7].

Pericarditis in Autoimmune Disorders

Pericarditis Following Myocardial Infarction

  • About 1% of STEMI patients presenting to emergency department was seen to have pericarditis[10]. The use of thrombolytic agents and early revascularization have greatly reduced the incidence of both early postinfarction pericarditis and Dressler's syndrome. Patients presenting to the emergency department with pericarditis account for up to 5% of those with nonischemic chest pain[11].
