Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-Positive Pericardial Abscess Presenting in a Hemodialysis Patient

Purulent pericarditis is an uncommon infection of the pericardial space that can very rarely present as a pericardial abscess. Infection by hematogenous spread in dialysis patients is among the predisposing risk factors that can lead to purulent pericarditis. Herein, we present a pericardial abscess...

description Purulent pericarditis is an uncommon infection of the pericardial space that can very rarely present as a pericardial abscess. Infection by hematogenous spread in dialysis patients is among the predisposing risk factors that can lead to purulent pericarditis. Herein, we present a pericardial abscess case due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in a male patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis. The patient has a past surgical history of two prior pericardial effusions due to uremic pericarditis.
