Resumen
Cardiovascular complications associated to Salmonella infections are rare and happen in around 1 to 5% of patients. Pericardium diseases are extremely unusual with few cases reported in literature. We report the case of an old adult with symptoms of pleural effusion and findings of purulent pericarditis where the etiology corresponded to an infection of Salmonella spp confirmed with clinical findings and imaging, microbiological, surgical and histopathological results.
