In children with purulent pericarditis, early diagnosis and drainage with povidone iodine irrigation can lead to rapid recovery, though mortality remains a risk.
Sinzobahamvya et al. (1987) conducted an observational in Purulent pericarditis (n=11). Early diagnosis and drainage with 0.1% povidone iodine irrigation was evaluated on Recovery or death. Early diagnosis and drainage with 0.1% povidone iodine irrigation resulted in rapid recovery for most of the 11 children with purulent pericarditis, though 2 patients died.
