[Protein-losing enteropathy during chronic liquid pericarditis].
Severe hypo-albuminemia associated with a decrease in P.B.I., gamma-globulins and plasmatic ceruloplasmin occurred in a 2 1/2 year old girl with chronic pericarditis since the age of 8 months. This was related to a protein-losing enteropathy which was confirmed by histological examination. Venous hypertension, secondary to the chronic pericarditis may explain the enteropathy.
