 AB    Although it is known that extrapulmonary tuberculosis in patients with
       AIDS has a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, pericardial
       involvement has rarely been described. We report a case of this
       condition as the first manifestation of AIDS with good response to
       antituberculous therapy. Although unusual, the diagnosis of tuberculous
       pericarditis in symptomatic HIV-infected patients should be aggressively
       pursued because of the beneficial clinical response to treatment.
