Abstract

Acute pericarditis may result from many etiologies. Pericarditis as a complication of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is quite rare and is usually self-limited in immunocompetent patients. In particular, pericardial tamponade associated with EBV infection has been reported in only one case. An 18-year-old woman presented with chest pain and shortness of breath. Upon suspicion of pulmonary embolism, the patient was examined with computed tomography, which showed no pulmonary embolism, but massive pericardial fluid surrounding the whole pericardium. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed pericardial fluid collections in the posterolateral wall (3.5 cm), right ventricle (2 cm), and right atrium (1.4 cm), and a diastolic collapse of the right ventricular apical wall. Emergency pericardiocentesis was performed and a total of 750 ml fluid was removed, which resulted in hemodynamic improvement and disappearance of the diastolic collapse on echocardiography. Serum EBV VCA IgM and EBV PCR assays were found positive and medical therapy was instituted with the diagnosis of EBV-associated pericarditis. The patient showed complete improvement and was discharged. At one-month control, she was free of symptoms and her echocardiogram was normal.

Özet

Akut perikardit birçok nedene bağlı gelişebilir; Epstein-Barr virüsü (EBV) enfeksiyonuna bağlı görülmesi oldukça nadir bir durumdur ve immün yetersizlik bulunmadığında sıklıkla kendini sınırlayan bir hastalıktır; EBV enfeksiyonunun perikart tamponadına yol açması ise sadece bir olguda bildirilmiştir. On sekiz yaşında kadın hasta göğüs ağrısı ve nefes darlığı yakınmalarıyla başvurdu. Pulmoner emboli şüphesiyle bilgisayarlı tomografi ile incelenen hastada pulmoner emboliye rastlanmadı; ancak, kalbi çepeçevre saran ciddi perikart sıvısı görüldü. Transtorasik ekokardiyografide, posterolateral duvarda 3.5 cm, sağ ventrikülde 2 cm ve sağ atriyumda 1.4 cm perikart sıvısı saptandı. Sağ ventrikül apikal duvarında diyastolde çökme görüldü. Hastaya acil perikardiyosentez yapıldı ve toplam 750 ml sıvı boşaltıldı. Hastanın hemodinamik durumunda düzelmeyle birlikte, kontrol ekokardiyografide diyastolik çökme de kayboldu. Serumda EBV VCA IgM ve perikart sıvısında EBV-PCR incelemelerinin pozitif bulunmasıyla EBV perikarditi tanısı konarak hastanın medikal tedavisine başlandı. Hasta tamamen iyileşerek taburcu edildi. Bir ay sonraki kontrolünde hastanın herhangi bir yakınması yoktu ve ekokardiyografisi normal bulundu.
