Abstract

This figure changes very little from year to year. 2) The incidence of pericarditis due to bacterial invasion is definitely decreased since the advent of the chemotherapeutic and antibiotic agents. 3) Pericarditis secondary to uremia, cardiovascular diseases and malignancy are increased as the population grows older.
