ABSTRACT

Purulent pericarditis is an infrequent disease which affects the pericardium and has a high mortality rate. The diagnosis is suspected in a febrile patient with right cardiac failure and a primary infectious source. However, not all patients present in this form therefore the diagnosis and treatment can be difficult and a real challenge. This report is of a patient with this disease and other etiologic possibilities are discussed.
