Abstract
A review of the literature has revealed 9 instances of pericarditis in fetuses and newborn infants less than 2 days of age. In only 2 of these are the histologic findings available. We have reported the macroscopic and microscopic findings in 2 additional patients with pericarditis, 1 of whom was a premature stillborn fetus. The second patient was a full-term infant who lived for 4 days and who manifested sufficient evidence of cardiac dysfunction to warrant electrocardiographic studies.
