A case of acute pericarditis in a 2 1/2 year-old girl is reported. It appeared 3 days after the onset of a meningococcal meningitis which was favourably influenced by antibiotherapy. This pericarditis was immunologic in origin and disappeared within a few days with corticosteroid therapy. Differential diagnosis between purulent versus non suppurative acute pericarditis in patients with meningococcal bacteriemia is discussed.
报告了一例2岁半女童患急性心包炎的病例。该病在脑膜炎球菌性脑膜炎发病3天后出现，抗生素治疗对脑膜炎球菌性脑膜炎产生了良好疗效。这种心包炎起源于免疫因素，经皮质类固醇治疗后在数天内消失。文中讨论了脑膜炎球菌血症患者中脓性与非化脓性急性心包炎的鉴别诊断。
