Abstract
A rare disease with a high mortality rate, purulent pericarditis in childhood is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency in order to avoid serious complications. It is recognized that the purulent pericarditis progresses to constriction, and treatment is based on surgery. We report the case of 9-month-old infant with purulent pericarditis that progressed to constriction.
