An infant with Hemophilus influenzae meningitis and pericarditis was treated successfully with antibiotics and pericardiostomy. Review of the literature revealed 19 cases of Hemophilus in fluenzae pericarditis. Six cases were associated with meningitis.

The importance of early diagnosis combined with surgical drainage of purulent pericarditis is stressed.
