Abstract
Pericarditis is an uncommon but important complication of inflammatory bowel disease. Five new causes are described and the published literature on 9 other cases is reviewed. The pericarditis occurred during an active phase of the colitis in all cases and was associated with other extra-colonic manifestations of colitis in 3. No other cause for the pericarditis was identified and in all 5 cases it responded promptly to the administration of corticosteroid drugs.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
