Abstract |
A case of staphylococcal constrictive pericarditis in a 10 month old male infant is reported here
with a brief review of literature.
To our knowledge, there have been no reported cases of constrictive pericarditis as a sequela of
purulent pericarditis in infancy less than 1 year of age.
This case recovered by medical treatment only, requiring no pericardiectomy. |
