Protein-Losing Enteropathy and CD4+ T-Cell Immunodeficiency Complicated by Listeria monocytogenes Constrictive Pericarditis
<i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> is a rare and often fatal cause of pericarditis. This paper presents a patient with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, CD4+ T-cell deficiency, and <i>L monocytogenes</i> constrictive pericarditis. This case highlights a rare association between heart failure and immunodeficiency, in addition to the multidisciplinary management of constrictive pericarditis.
