Figure 1

CT chest on admission showed pericardial thickening, moderate-sized pericardial effusion, and adjacent inflammatory changes within the epicardial fat and mediastinum (b), which were new compared to the prior study (a). New large bilateral pleural effusion with associated compressive atelectasis in the lower lungs and stable pericardial effusion is observed on day 10 (c), which resolved after systemic steroid treatment (d).
