Three patients with infective endocarditis who presented withsevere precordial pain and pericardial rubs are described inwhom sterile pericardial and pleural effusions were found. Thepericardial pain disappeared and the effusions regressed withsuccessful antibiotic treatment. A similar mechanism to thepostmyocardial infarction syndrome is suggested. |
