Abstract

The recurrence rate of acute pericarditis is 15% to 30% in adulthood, whereas it is rare in children with cases, most of which are case reports. The cause is usually idiopathic although some cases have been associated with chronic inflammatory diseases and cardiac operations. Recurrent pericarditis with familial involvement has been reported in only a few cases. Colchicine has been in use in the prevention of recurrent pericarditis relapses for the last 18 years. A 14-year-old girl with recurrent pericarditis who has had familial (parental) involvement and been managed (under control) with colchicine treatment is presented in this paper.

Özet

Akut perikardit geçiren erişkinlerde rekürrens %15-30 oranında bildirilirken, rekürren perikardit çocuklarda nadir olgu sunumlarından ibarettir. Olguların bir kısmı kronik inflamatuvar hastalıklarla, bir kısmı kardiyak operasyonlarla ilişkilendirilmişse de, neden sıklıkla idiyopatik kalmaktadır. Sadece birkaç olgu bildiriminde ailesel özellik gösteren rekürren perikardit tanımlanmıştır. Nüksleri önlemede kolşisin son 18 yıldır kullanılmakta olup, umut verici sonuçlar mevcuttur. Babasında ve kendisinde rekürren perikardit tanımlanan 14 yaşındaki olguyu ailesel özellik göstermesi ve kolşisin tedavisi ile kontrol altına alınması nedeniyle sunmayı uygun bulduk.
