Abstract
Bacterial pericarditis is a rare yet fatal form of pericarditis. With the introduction of antibiotics, incidence of bacterial pericarditis has declined to 1 in 18,000 hospitalized patients. In this report, we present a rare case of MSSA pericarditis in a patient that presented with systemic lupus erythematosus flare, which required treatment with antibiotics and source control with pericardial window and drain placement.
