Tularemic Pericarditis

Report of Two Cases and Review of Literature

CRAWFORD W. ADAMS M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 The Department of Medicine, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee.

Two cases of pericarditis due to tularemia are reported. A total of 28 other cases of tularemic pericarditis were found in the world literature.

Tularemic pericarditis may occur as the only apparent complication of tularemia, a fact of importance in diagnosing certain cases of this serious illness. If treated with streptomycin, tetracycline derivates or chloramphenicol, the prognosis is similar to benign sero-fibrinous pericarditis.
