Abstract

Purulent bacterial pericarditis is rare and associated with significant short- and long-term morbidity. We report a case of purulent bacterial pericarditis caused by Group A Streptococcus in an immunocompetent young child presenting with a pericardial mass. She was successfully treated with a combined medical and early surgical approach. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
