Primary Purulent Pericarditis with Cardiac Tamponade due to Oropharyngeal Polymicrobial Infection: A Case Report and Literature Review
Cardiac tamponade due to purulent pericarditis with a characteristic greenish fluid is rare in this antibiotic era. It is highly fatal despite early diagnosis and advanced treatment. Gram-positive cocci are the leading cause of purulent pericarditis, which usually results from a direct or hematogenous spread of organisms to the pericardium from the primary foci of infection. We describe an inde...

We report what we believe to be the first case of Austrian's triad further complicated by purulent pericarditis and cardiac tamponade, and review the relevant literature.
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...
متن کاملLifesaving pericardiocentesis due to purulent pericarditis with growth of Gram-negative rods in an immune-competent Inuit male
Polymicrobial Gram-negative pericarditis is a rare entity in the immune-competent patient, and purulent pericarditis due to bacteria complicated by tamponade is a life-threatening condition with high mortality rates. A prompt diagnosis and treatment is, as in this case, lifesaving and facilitated by echocardiography but is not the case in rural areas in common. Change in the infectious aetiolog...
متن کاملPurulent pericarditis due to co-infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a patient with features of advanced HIV infection
BACKGROUND Both Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Streptococcus pneumoniae are common pathogens in patients with HIV infection. CASE PRESENTATION We present an unusual case of purulent pericarditis resulting in cardiac tamponade due to infection with both organisms. We highlight the re-emergence of pneumococcal pericarditis in the HIV era and describe the pitfalls and challenges in the diagnosis...
