Pericarditis:
Causes and incidence
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Common causes of this disease include:
❑ bacterial, fungal, or viral infection (infectious pericarditis)
❑ neoplasms (primary or metastatic from lungs, breasts, or other organs)
❑ high-dose radiation to the chest
❑ uremia
❑ hypersensitivity or autoimmune disease, such as acute rheumatic fever (most common cause of pericarditis in children), systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis
❑ postcardiac injury such as myocardial infarction (MI), which later causes an autoimmune reaction (Dressler’s syndrome) in the pericardium; trauma; or surgery that leaves the pericardium intact but causes blood to leak into the pericardial cavity
❑ drugs, such as hydralazine or procainamide
❑ idiopathic factors (most common in acute pericarditis).
Less common causes include aortic aneurysm with pericardial leakage, and myxedema with cholesterol deposits in the pericardium.
Pericarditis most commonly affects men ages 20 to 50, but it can also occur in children following infection with an adenovirus or coxsackievirus.

About prevalence and incidence statistics:
The term 'prevalence' of Mulibrey Nanism syndrome usually refers to the estimated population
of people who are managing Mulibrey Nanism syndrome at any given time.
The term 'incidence' of Mulibrey Nanism syndrome refers to the annual diagnosis rate,
or the number of new cases of Mulibrey Nanism syndrome diagnosed each year.
Hence, these two statistics types can differ:
a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence,
but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
