Cholesterol crystals and IgE-containing immune complexes in rheumatoid pericarditis.

J F Van Offel1, L S De Clerck, I E Kersschot.   

Abstract

A 72-year-old rheumatoid arthritis patient is described presenting with acute dyspnoea and peripheral oedema. A pericardial effusion with signs of tamponade was diagnosed. Examination of the pericardial fluid revealed the presence of cholesterol crystals and IgE-containing immune complexes. The significance of these findings in the differential diagnosis of pericardial disease is discussed.
