Abstract
Purulent pericarditis is a rare infection, mostly resulting from contiguous or haematogenous spread, with diagnosis often delayed because signs and symptoms are unspecific.Treatment must include drainage of the pericardial space, combined with systemic antibiotics.Prognosis is variable, depending largely on the speed of diagnosis and treatment, as death is almost certain without adequate source control.
