Abstract
In sub-Saharan Africa, pericardial tuberculosis is frequently diagnosed in HIV sero-positive patients. Myocardial involvement has only rarely been reported. We present an HIV sero-positive patient in whom both pericardial and myocardial tuberculosis were diagnosed, and highlight the value of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis and management of this condition.
