Pericarditis is inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart, the pericardium. Acute pericarditis is the most common form of pericarditis.
Pathology
Fibrinous pericarditis is an exudative inflammation. The pericardium is infiltrated by the fibrinous exudate. This consists in fibrin strands and leukocytes. Fibrin describes an eosinophilic (pink) network, amorphous. Leukocytes (mainly, neutrophils) are found within the fibrin deposits and intrapericardic. Vascular congestion is also present. The myocardium has no changes. Photo at: Atlas of Pathology More on [ Pericarditis ]
