title: [Conservative and surgical treatment of pericarditis--our experience].
abstract: Methods and results of both conservative and invasive therapy of pericarditis were analysed in the group of 30 patients. An emphasis was on successful treatment of mild (idiopathic) pericarditis and efficiency of the early started, combined pharmacotherapy (tuberculostatics + corticosteroids) of pericarditis of tuberculous etiology. A stress is on marked immediate efficacy of surgery in case of cardiac tamponade, independent on its etiology, with simultaneous recommendation of ultrasound-guided pericardial sac paracentesis. Survival rate in patients with malignant pericarditis is relatively low.
