X-ray examination of the patient revealed a significant increase in the size of the heart shadow, some fluid in the pericardium up to 1 liter was visualized. The etiology of the disorder was verified by detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) by pericardial fluid culture, and drug sensitivity testing of MTB was performed. Thus an effective treatment regimen was developed, tuberculosis pericarditis and disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis were cured. Echo-CG was used for diagnosis and monitoring of the course of tuberculosis pericarditis.
