Abstract
Ten patients with tuberculous pericardial effusion, treated initially with adjunctive prednisone 120 mg daily, improved dramatically within a week. There were no complications. Such rapid resolution suggests that the duration of prednisone treatment for this condition could be shortened, which may be important in HIV seropositive patients.Entities:
