| Abstrakt: | Purulent pericarditis is an uncommon infection of the pericardial space that can very rarely present as a pericardial abscess. Infection by hematogenous spread in dialysis patients is among the predisposing risk factors that can lead to purulent pericarditis. Herein, we present a pericardial abscess case due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in a male patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis. The patient has a past surgical history of two prior pericardial effusions due to uremic pericarditis. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
