    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Cardiology
    • Hepatology

    Background:

    • Pericarditis is an uncommon complication of amebic liver abscess.
    • Extraintestinal amebiasis rarely involves the pericardium, accounting for approximately 4% of cases.

    Observation:

    • A 40-year-old male presented with a gradual onset of symptoms suggestive of pericarditis.
    • Diagnostic evaluation revealed a connection between the left lobe of the liver and the pericardial space.

    Findings:

    • The patient was diagnosed with amebic pericarditis.
    • This case underscores the potential for liver abscesses to directly impact the pericardium.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider amebic pericarditis in patients with liver abscesses and pericardial symptoms.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment of amebic pericarditis are crucial for patient outcomes.
