[h=1]Influenza H1N1 Infection Leading To Cardiac Tamponade in a Previously Healthy Patient: A Case Report.[/h] Sidhu RS[SUP]1[/SUP], Sharma A[SUP]1[/SUP], Paterson ID[SUP]1[/SUP], Bainey KR[SUP]1[/SUP].
[h=3]Author information[/h]
[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]INTRODUCTION:[/h] The cardiac manifestations of influenza A are broad, ranging from self-limited pericarditis to fatal cardiomyopathy. The 2009 H1N1 influenza A (H1N1) strain is a rare cause of pericarditis, and its role in developing a pericardial effusion leading to tamponade has infrequently been reported.
[h=4]CASE PRESENTATION:[/h] We describe a case of a young female with no prior cardiovascular history who presents with a pericardial effusion and shock secondary to cardiac tamponade from pericarditis due to H1N1 influenza A.
[h=4]CONCLUSIONS:[/h] This case highlights the potential severity of H1N1 infections and the utility of considering cardiac tamponade in patients presenting with influenza symptoms and circulatory collapse.
