[Pericarditis at the Internal Disease Clinic of the Institute of Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases (1981-1987)].

Causes, symptoms, clinical forms, and methods of diagnosis of pericarditis were analysed in a group of 30 patients. Chest pain, dyspnea, and tachycardia were prevailing clinical symptoms of the disease. Particularly useful diagnostic technique is ultrasound, being a method of choice in the diagnosis of the most frequent exudative pericarditis. The most frequent cause of cardiac tamponade was malignant pericarditis. Diagnostic problems with particular reference to tuberculous etiology of pericarditis have also been discussed.

[Respiratory failure treated at the intensive care unit "R" of the Internal Disease Clinic of the Institute of Tuberculosis and Pulmonary Diseases (1986-1987)].

A picture and clinical course of the acute and exacerbated chronic respiratory failure have been analysed. An analysis embraced a group of 49 patients, i.e. 16 percent of all patients treated at the Intensive Care Unit. Four subgroups were distinguished depending on the etiology of the disease in which infectious, thrombo-embolic, circulatory or toxic factors caused respiratory failure. An emphasis is on the prevalence of the infectious etiology of disease being noted in 65% of patients. Acute respiratory failure was observed in 37% of patients whereas exacerbation of the chronic respiratory failure in 63%. Complete respiration distress was noted in 55% of cases and partial respiratory failure in the remaining 45%. Gasometric differences characteristic for each subgroup of the patients have also been analysed. 41% of the patients died. The highest mortality rate was seen in pulmonary embolism complicating various pulmonary diseases. Sudden cardiac arrest, shock and not compensated acidosis have been most unfavourable factors in the prognosis.
