Abstract

Three patients with infective endocarditis who presented with severe precordial pain and pericardial rubs are described in whom sterile pericardial and pleural effusions were found. The pericardial pain disappeared and the effusions regressed with successful antibiotic treatment. A similar mechanism to the postmyocardial infarction syndrome is suggested.

Key Words: Pericarditis • infective endocarditis
