ABSTRACT
Purulent pericarditis is a rare condition with a high mortality rate. We report a case of purulent pericarditis subsequently caused by Candida parapsilosis, Peptostreptococcus asaccharolyticus, Streptococcus anginosus, Staphylococcus aureus, Prevotella oralis, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a previously healthy 17-year-old boy with mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis. The probable route of infection was a bronchomediastinal lymph node-pericardial fistula. The patient improved with antibiotic, antifungal, and antituberculous medication in addition to pericardiectomy.
