Abstract

Considerable information is available about the acute respiratory symptoms of influenza A and B. However, rarely, these viruses can adversely affect the cardiovascular system. Few cases of pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade due to the Influenza virus have been reported. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first case of a 23-year-old unvaccinated woman having concurrent influenza A and B infection manifesting as pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade. The patient was treated with oseltamivir 75 mg, resulting in significant clinical improvement. This case emphasizes the importance of considering influenza as a possible cause of cardiac tamponade.

沉重的心：流感对年轻生命的影响，罕见病例报告。

关于甲型和乙型流感的急性呼吸道症状有相当多的信息。然而，这些病毒很少会对心血管系统产生不利影响。由于流感病毒引起心包积液和心包填塞的病例很少报道。据我们所知，我们报告了第一例23岁未接种疫苗的女性同时感染甲型和乙型流感，表现为心包积液和心包填塞。患者给予奥司他韦75mg治疗，临床明显改善。这个病例强调了考虑流感作为心脏填塞可能原因的重要性。
