Bacterial Pericarditis
Anyone with chest pain accompanied by fever may require a cardiology evaluation, since these signs are sometimes related to bacterial pericarditis. This is an inflammation of the pericardium, the membrane that surrounds the heart, caused by a bacterial infection.
Common manifestations: Chest pain that may change with breathing or posture, fever, and a feeling of shortness of breath.
What is important to know? Because it is a condition that directly affects the heart, its study should be done in a timely manner.
Which specialist treats it? Evaluation falls to the cardiologist and, in children, the pediatric cardiologist; in some cases the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon or the general surgeon takes part. If chest pain and fever appear, seeing a professional promptly helps clarify the cause.
