| 520 | |a Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and colchicine are the cornerstone treatment for recurrent pericarditis. Corticosteroids are frequently used in patients with recurrent episodes of pericarditis. In patients with corticosteroid dependent and corticosteroid-resistant pericarditis, several steroid-sparing options like azathioprine, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and anakinra are being recently tried. In this article, we present the case of a 44-year-old male with recurrent pericarditis, who was successfully treated with anakinra.
