Polymicrobial Gram-negative suppurative pericarditis involving Citrobacter diversus and Proteus mirabilis is a rare etiology of cardiac tamponade.
Reports the first known case of suppurative pericarditis caused by Citrobacter diversus and Proteus mirabilis.
May prompt consideration of atypical pathogens in tamponade; first report extends known etiologies but leaves clinical implications open.
