Overview
Patients with tuberculous pericarditis usually appear Cachectic. They may have fever, tachycardia, pulsus paradoxus, hypotension, tachypnea, JVP distension, kussmaul's sign, lymphadenopathy, ankle edama, pleura dullness, decreased breath sounds, pericardial knock, pericardial rub, fine/coarse crackles upon auscultation of the lung, hepatomegaly, ascites, distant heart sounds, displaced point of maximal impulse (PMI) suggestive of cardiomegaly, friction rub, and S4.
