A case report of a patient with clinical and x-ray evidence of chronic constrictive pericarditis with a calcific pericardium is presented. The patient had negative tuberculin and positive histoplasmin skin tests. This suggests, along with a previous report, 6 that cases of pericardial calcification should include histoplasmin skin testing when the etiology is in doubt.
