It is invasive in immunocompromised and those of extreme ages. It typically presents with gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain or vomiting. Extra-intestinal manifestations are seen in 30% of salmonellosis cases. These atypical manifestation leads to difficulty and delay diagnosis thus poorer outcome. Pericardium involvement is estimated to be less than 2% of all cases and has mortality rate as high as 50%1 . As high as 70% of pericarditis cases were identified to be immunosuppressed2 ; these include chronic immunosuppressant usage, autoimmune disease, end stage renal failure, malignancy and etc. Herein, we report a fatal case of pyogenic pericardial effusion by Salmonella enteritidis in an immunocompetent adolescent. 4 62 1-3
