How do you approach management of recurrent idiopathic pleuropericarditis?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
The first line is colchicine and NSAIDs until the pain resolves, CRP normalizes, etc…
After this, if the CRP tracks with the symptoms, fluid reaccumulation, and/or cMRI evidence of the pericarditis, I find il-1 inhibitors work very well.
