Highlights Ureaplasma as a potential, albeit rare, cause of spontaneous bacterial pericarditis with tamponade in adults.
Alerts clinicians to Ureaplasma in atypical tamponade; extends sparse adult case data but leaves management questions open.
Infectious pericardial effusion with tamponade is an uncommon but life-threatening disease. We report an unusual case of spontaneous Ureaplasma pericardial effusion with tamponade associated with pneumonia, pleural effusion, and urinary tract infection. All published cases of clinically invasive Ureaplasma infections in the adult population are also reviewed.
