Purulent pericarditis secondary to pneumococcal pneumonia is a rare entity, and often underestimated despite being associated with a high mortality rate. We report a case of a man who developed a cardiac tamponade related to a previously unknown pneumococcal pneumonia. In conclusion, we emphasize the need of repeated clinical and echocardiographic exams.
肺炎球菌肺炎继发的化脓性心包炎是一种罕见疾病,尽管其死亡率高,但常被低估。我们报告一例男性病例,该患者因先前未知的肺炎球菌肺炎而发生心脏压塞。总之,我们强调需要重复进行临床和超声心动图检查。
