ABSTRACT
Purulent pericarditis is identified by pus in pericardial space. Pericarditis due to Candida species is very rare and is associated with severe sepsis, cardiac tamponade, and a high grade of mortality. Pericardial involvement with Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is unusual. We present a case of post COVID purulent mycobacterial and fungal pericarditis, which was managed both medically and surgically.
Keywords: COVID-19, Mycobacterium, Candida Albicans.
