Purulent pericarditis is a rare but life-threatening condition, particularly challenging when it occurs in immunocompromised individuals.
We present the case of a 68-year-old man with end-stage renal disease who developed purulent pericarditis secondary to infection. Despite initial challenges in diagnosis and management, the patient showed a favorable response to antibiotic therapy.
This case highlights the importance of prompt recognition and treatment of purulent pericarditis, especially in patients with underlying immunosuppression and comorbidities.
脓性心包炎是一种罕见但危及生命的疾病,在免疫功能低下的个体中发生时尤其具有挑战性。
我们报告一例68岁终末期肾病男性患者,继发感染后发生脓性心包炎。尽管在诊断和治疗初期面临挑战,但患者对抗生素治疗反应良好。
本病例强调了及时识别和治疗脓性心包炎的重要性,尤其是在有潜在免疫抑制和合并症的患者中。
