Spontaneous bacterial pericarditis with tamponade due to Ureaplasma spp.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Infectious pericardial effusion with tamponade is an uncommon but life-threatening disease. We report an unusual case of spontaneous Ureaplasma pericardial effusion with tamponade associated with pneumonia, pleural effusion, and urinary tract infection. All published cases of clinically invasive Ureaplasma infections in the adult population are also reviewed.

متن کاملRapid evolution of cardiac tamponade due to bacterial pericarditis in two patients with HIV-1 infection.
We describe two HIV-seropositive patients with acute pneumococcal empyema and pericarditis. Cardiac tamponade evolved rapidly in each patient and was reversed with prompt surgical intervention. In each case, immunologic abnormalities were detected which could have facilitated local spread of infection and progression to tamponade. Pericarditis, an otherwise rare manifestation of pneumococcal in...

Historically, Streptococcus pneumoniae has been the most common cause of bacterial pericarditis. Over the past 70 years, however, it has become largely eliminated and now occurs almost exclusively in immunocompromised individuals with a preceding primary site ...

Hospital Physician January 2008 P urulent (or suppurative) pericarditis is defined as an infection of the pericardial space that produces pus that is found on gross examination of the pericardial sac or on tissue microscopy. In most cases, pericardial infection does not produce a purulent effusion. Viral infection, which together with “idiopathic” pericarditis account for 90% of pericarditis ca...
متن کاملPrimary purulent bacterial pericarditis due to Streptococcus intermedius in an immunocompetent adult: a case report
BACKGROUND Acute purulent bacterial pericarditis is of rare occurrence in this modern antibiotic era. Primary involvement of the pericardium without evidence of underlying infection elsewhere is even rarer. It is a rapidly progressive infection with high mortality. We present an extremely rare case of acute purulent bacterial pericarditis in an immunocompetent adult patient with no underlying c...
