Staphylococcal Pericarditis in a Patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Robert G. Knodell M.D.1 and Scott J. Manders M.D.1

1 Department of Medicine, School of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco

A patient with systemic lupus erythematosus developed spiking fevers, which were controlled by parenteral steroids, and, later, pericardial friction rub. Staphylococcal pericarditis was diagnosed by periocardiocentesis; no pathogenic organisms were found in blood or sputum. The infection did not respond to methicillin, and irrigation with Dakin's solution through a cardiac window was required to cure the pericarditis.
