Purulent pericarditis is one of the most common causes of cardiac tamponade and if left untreated has a mortality of 100%. Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumonia have been implicated as the main etiology of purulent pericardial effusion followed by fungi and anaerobic sources. Actinomyces odontolyticus pericardial involvement has been reported in the literature only once. To our knowledge, this is the first fatal case of A. odontolyticus purulent pericarditis in the absence of periodontal disease.
脓性心包炎是心脏压塞最常见的病因之一,若不治疗,死亡率达100%。金黄色葡萄球菌和肺炎链球菌被认为是脓性心包积液的主要病因,其次是真菌和厌氧菌感染。文献中仅报道过1例齿龈放线菌累及心包的病例。据我们所知,这是首例无牙周疾病的齿龈放线菌脓性心包炎致死病例。
