  • Title: [Clinical case of the month. Purulent pericarditis in a patient with pulmonary sarcoidosis].
    Author: Nyssen A, Mélon P, Garweg C, Lancellotti P.
    Journal: Rev Med Liege; 2011; 66(7-8):411-6. PubMed ID: 21942074.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a patient, suffering from pulmonary sarcoidosis, who developed a purulent pericarditis complicated with a cardiac tamponade. The widespread use of antibiotics has progressively reduced the number of purulent pericarditis. However, it remains a serious disease that has to be rapidly diagnosed to be treated timely. We will review the required tests for the diagnosis and the treatment of this pathology that leads to death otherwise. The link with pulmonary sardoidosis is uncertain.
