Abstract
We describe a man with cardiac tamponade after anterior myocardial infarction (MI) with a mass on echocardiography, complicated by a S. Milleri purulent pericarditis. This case is an example of how 2 cardiac conditions can interfere with the diagnosis and management of each individual disorder, resulting in an extremely complex disease course. ().
