Constrictive pericarditis complicating dermatomyositis.
Tamir R, Pick AJ, Theodor E.
Ann Rheum Dis. 1988;47(11):961-3.

Transudative ascites with a high protein content. Case reports.
Di Bisceglie AM, Schamroth CL.
S Afr Med J. 1985;67(23):941-2.
The case reports of 2 patients with constrictive pericarditis and 1 patient with the Budd-Chiari syndrome are used to show that high-protein ascites may occur in the absence of disease of the peritoneum.
