Abstract
The incidence of purulent pericarditis has declined. However, mortality remains high. We describe a case of purulent pericarditis with tamponade caused by Salmonella enteritidis, and emphasize the importance of early recognition, prompt institution of appropriate antibiotic therapy, and early surgical drainage for survival.Entities:
