Purulent pericarditis is a potentially fatal disease with high mortality rates if untreated. (formerly ) is an anaerobic bacteria that is ubiquitous in skin flora and is commonly thought of as a culture contaminant; however, it does have pathogenic potential. We present a case of purulent pericarditis secondary to leading to cardiac tamponade. Initial stabilization and diagnosis were made via pericardiocentesis; afterward the patient underwent a pericardial window. Due to a severe penicillin allergy, he was successfully treated with a 14-day course of vancomycin. To our knowledge, this represents only the third published case of purulent pericarditis with cardiac tamponade caused by and the first case treated with a 14-day course of vancomycin.
化脓性心包炎是一种潜在的致命疾病,若不治疗死亡率很高。(以前)是一种厌氧细菌,在皮肤菌群中普遍存在,通常被认为是培养污染物;然而,它确实具有致病潜力。我们报告一例继发于导致心脏压塞的化脓性心包炎病例。通过心包穿刺术进行初步稳定和诊断;之后患者接受了心包开窗术。由于严重的青霉素过敏,他成功接受了为期14天的万古霉素治疗。据我们所知,这是仅有的第三例由引起心脏压塞的化脓性心包炎的已发表病例,也是第一例接受为期14天万古霉素治疗的病例。
