BLANCO RAMOS, M.; CANIZARES CARRETERO, M. A.; GARCIA-FONTAN, E. M. e RIVO VAZQUEZ, J. E.. Pericardial effusion as the only first clinical manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus. An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2006, vol.23, n.2, pp.80-82. ISSN 0212-7199.
Pericarditis is the most frequent cardiac manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but pericardial effusion rarely occurs as the only first clinical manifestation of SLE. We report the case of a male patient whose initial manifestation of lupus was a pericardial effusion. We comment on its clinical course and we reviewed in the medical literature different presenting features in SLE.
Palavras-chave : Pericardial effusion; Systemic lupus eythematosus.
