Acute hemorrhagic pericarditis in a child with pneumonia due to Chlamydophila pneumoniae.

T Tenenbaum1, A Heusch, B Henrich, C R MacKenzie, K G Schmidt, H Schroten.   

Abstract

Chlamydophila pneumoniae is mainly responsible for respiratory tract infections but has also been associated with endocarditis and myocarditis. We report a case of pneumonia in a child with hemorrhagic pericardial effusion with a positive result by a new C. pneumoniae TaqMan PCR, suggesting a pericardial inflammation directly induced by C. pneumoniae. C. pneumoniae should be suspected in patients with community-acquired pneumonia and concurrent pericarditis. Empirical treatment with azithromycin seems feasible.
