摘要：
Pericarditis is one of the most frequent manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus; however, purulent pericarditis and tamponade are rare. We describe a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and culture‐proven gonococcal arthritis who developed purulent pericarditis with intracellular gram‐negative diplococci. Evidence of tamponade was seen on echocardiography. There has not been a reported case of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in pericardial fluid or tissue since the introduction of antibiotics.
