We are reporting a rare case of acupuncture-related acute pericarditis in an old-aged gentleman due to Staphylococcus aureus infection who was successfully managed with drainage of pericardial fluid and broad-spectrum antibiotics. We also reviewed the literature and found cardiac tamponade as the most common acupuncture-related cardiac complication, followed by infective endocarditis, bacterial abscess, and infected myxoma. There was no available literature on post-acupuncture acute pericarditis.
我们报告了一例罕见的老年男性因金黄色葡萄球菌感染导致的与针灸相关的急性心包炎病例，该患者通过心包积液引流和广谱抗生素治疗成功治愈。我们还查阅了文献，发现心脏压塞是最常见的与针灸相关的心脏并发症，其次是感染性心内膜炎、细菌性脓肿和感染性黏液瘤。目前尚无关于针灸后急性心包炎的文献。
