 complication of other diseases, especially rheumatic fever, 

 strangles, influenza, purpura, pysemia, and various septic 

 conditions. The process of inflammation may have spread 

 from the lungs and pleura on to the pericardium, or it may

 parasites present in the sac, or of wounds or injuries, such 

 as fractured ribs.
