    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 71-year-old woman suffering from purulent pericarditis, but displaying only minor symptoms. No predisposing factors were found. In addition, the infection was caused by Streptococcus milleri, a rare causative agent for this affection. We review the literature and discuss the different types of treatment of purulent pericarditis.
