Abstract
The high prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis, which is endemic in some countries, is the main cause of pericardial tuberculosis, a figure that increases even more in immunocompromised patients, but nevertheless the incidence of primary pericardial infection by tuberculosis is low and therefore there are only case reports in literature. The prevalence of pericardial effusion secondary to tuberculosis in immunocompetent patients is low and only case reports have been found, perhaps due to low suspicion, so we intend to provide more evidence to the literature. For diagnosis we have imaging studies, culture, Xpert MTB/RIF system, Adenosine Aminase.
