Figure 1 Histopathological evaluation of pericardial biopsies demonstrating varying degrees of inflammation. (A) Pericardial biopsy without inflammation (hematoxylin and eosin [H&E], ×200). (B) Mild chronic inflammation (H&E, ×200). (C) Moderate chronic inflammation (H&E, ×200). (D) Neutrophil infiltration accompanying mild chronic inflammation in another area of the same pericardial biopsy, consistent with chronic active inflammation, along with extravasated erythrocytes (H&E, ×400).
