Cardiac involvement in trichinosis

R Bessoudo, TJ Marrie and ER Smith

During a small outbreak of trichinosis, two of four symptomatic patients developed moderate to large pericardial effusions. In neither was there ventricular dilatation nor impairment of systolic function. These observations suggest that pericardial effusion is more common than previously appreciated and that it may have a role in the genesis of the symptoms and signs mimicking congestive heart failure which occasionally complicate the course of this illness.
