The Unusual Cause of Cardiac Tamponade
JACC: Case Reports(2022)
Abstract
We present a previously healthy young man with cardiac tamponade. He underwent emergency pericardiocentesis. The pericardial fluid was exudative, and Salmonella sp. was grown on both pericardial and blood cultures. Further investigations revealed that this patient had classical Hodgkin lymphoma, which explains his immunocompromised state predisposing him to this infection. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
