Abstract：
One of the most prevalent causes of pericarditis has been identified as virus infection. However, very little is known regarding cardiac involvement as a consequence of monkeypox infection. We describe a rare case of pericarditis with mild pericardial effusion in an immunocompetent adult with a one-week history of monkeypox. To the best of our knowledge, not many case reports are available in the existing literature. This might be the among the first few cases of monkeypox associated pericarditis during the current pandemic. The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, and colchicine to manage pericarditis has been the cornerstone of the therapy. Within two weeks, the patient reported improvement in his symptoms and the resolution of the pericardial effusion.
摘要：
心包炎最普遍的原因之一已被确定为病毒感染。然而,关于猴痘感染导致的心脏受累知之甚少。我们描述了一个具有一周猴痘病史的免疫功能正常的成年人的罕见心包炎伴轻度心包积液。据我们所知,现有文献中没有多少病例报告.这可能是当前大流行期间与猴痘相关的心包炎的前几例。使用非甾体抗炎药，秋水仙碱治疗心包炎一直是治疗的基石。两周内,患者报告症状改善,心包积液消退.
