Fulminant Pyopericardium: A Case Report.

Pyopericardium has been seldom reported in the literature and carries a high mortality. The authors present the case of a 67-year-old woman with a pyopericardium diagnosis, masked by chest pain related to subacute, non-revascularized coronary syndrome. We report this case not only due to its uniqueness but also to raise awareness of the importance of a rapid diagnostic and treatment approach.
