Which are causes of pericardial disease listed in the material? Select ALL correct answers.
Answer
Tuberculosis, Uraemia, Malignancy, Trauma
Explanation
The material lists **tuberculosis** among infectious causes, **uraemia** among metabolic causes, **malignancy** among haematology-oncology causes, and **trauma** among other causes. Appendicitis is not included in the lecture's aetiological list. This question tests recognition that pericardial disease can arise from several broad categories rather than infection alone. **Key takeaway:** Consider infectious, metabolic, neoplastic, traumatic, autoimmune, and procedural causes when evaluating pericardial disease. **Glossary:** **Uraemia**: a clinical state associated with retention of waste products in renal failure. **Aetiology**: the cause or origin of a disease.
