“…Quick treatment of tuberculous pericarditis can be lifesaving and it requires a fast and accurate diagnosis for disease, but it frequently can be difficult [3]. TB purulent pericarditis (pyopericardium) is unusual presentation of TB and has been reported in 6.98% of the cases [4]. Pyopericardium has been documented in <3% of the cases of large TB pericardial effusions, even in the high-prevalence areas of TB and human immunodeficiency virus infection [5].…”

Pericardial effusion is a common disease and tuberculosis (TB) accounts up to 4% of acute pericarditis with up to 7% of tamponade case. Accurate diagnosis is important while quick intervention can be life-saving. A case was reported involving a 73-year-old man who presented with reduced effort tolerance for one-month duration. During hospitalization, further workup revealed the presence of massive purulent pericardial effusion with evidence of tamponade. TB gene expert was positive in aspirated pericardial fluid and the patient was treated promptly using a combination of anti-TB drugs with the addition of steroid therapy.

Tuberculosis is a typical reason for pericardial emission particularly in the emerging nations. Regardless of the decrease in mortality because of tuberculosis and a general diminishing in the occurrence, tuberculosis and its complexities stay a genuine medical issue. Objectives: The main objective of the study is to analyse the tuberculous pericardial abscess presenting as multiple pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade. Material and methods: This randomized control trial study was conducted in Rashid Latif medical complex, Lahore during November 2020 to August 2021. The data was collected from 10 patients. Results: The patients was tachypnoeic, poisonous looking and in sepsis. Their important bodily functions showed the accompanying: respiratory pace of 24 breaths/min and tachycardia of 110 beats/min. Clinical assessment upheld the finding of heart problems. Conclusion: It is concluded that tuberculosis stays a genuine medical condition. In this manner confusions like pericarditis, tamponade and boil are inescapable and in spite of satisfactory medication treatment, 33% to one portion of the patients in the long run require Pericardiectomy
