Abstract
This case report describes a 14-month-old female patient who developed acute pericarditis complicated by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infection following influenza B virus infection. The patient presented with fever, dyspnea, and signs of peripheral venous catheter-related infection. Diagnosis was confirmed through blood cultures and echocardiography, revealing pericardial effusion. Treatment with vancomycin, aspirin, and colchicine resulted in stabilization of the patient's condition. The report highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and targeted therapy in managing complicated acute pericarditis in children.
