title: [Pericarditis as a complication of rubella].
abstract: Report on a five-year-old boy with clinically suspect and serologically proven rubella infection who developed serous pericarditis. Two-dimensional echocardiography documented a moderate pericardial effusion which resolved within one week. A review of the literature revealed that both peri- and myocarditis represent rare complications of rubella.
