Dr. Liu Aifen
Rheumatic pericarditis refers to pericardial involvement caused by rheumatic disease. It may result from respiratory tract infections, Staphylococcus infection, or Streptococcus infection. Prompt comprehensive evaluation at a hospital is essential to identify the underlying cause, followed by active cooperation with physicians for appropriate treatment—facilitating recovery.
