“…Additionally, Influenza B only accounts for approximately 0.08% of circulatory and/or respiratory-related hospitalizations [ 14 ]. In most reported cases of severe pericarditis or cardiac tamponade secondary to Influenza, it is Influenza A that is implicated [ 15 - 17 ].…”

Every year, Influenza infection contributes to significant morbidity and mortality carrying a huge economic burden. Extra-pulmonary manifestations are increasingly being recognized. We present a 29-year-old woman with acute pericarditis and cardiac tamponade requiring emergent pericardiocentesis secondary to Influenza B infection. Although very rare in relation to Influenza B infection, the pericardial disease can occur during the acute infection or as a post-viral syndrome. Considering pericardial disease in patients with chest pain and any viral infection may facilitate timely diagnosis and prevent unnecessary life-threatening complications.

“…We did find another reported adult case of cardiac tamponade in a 62 year old male who presented after six weeks of symptoms with a pericardial effusion requiring pericardiocentesis. The case was complicated by a chronic pericardial effusion requiring pericardiectomy ( 3 ). The only other adult case report was a 50 year old female with a pericardial effusion due to H1N1, without tamponade, of which the patient responded to medical management with high dose ibuprofen and Oseltamivir ( 16 ).…”

“…Here, we present a case of H1N1 infection leading to pericarditis and subsequent pericardial effusion with cardiac tamponade. Influenza causing a pericardial effusion is rare, and to our knowledge there is only one other case report of an adult patient presenting with cardiac tamponade due to an H1N1 infection ( 3 ). This case report highlights a rare but life threatening complication of H1N1 infection.…”

IntroductionThe cardiac manifestations of influenza A are broad, ranging from self-limited pericarditis to fatal cardiomyopathy. The 2009 H1N1 influenza A (H1N1) strain is a rare cause of pericarditis, and its role in developing a pericardial effusion leading to tamponade has infrequently been reported.Case PresentationWe describe a case of a young female with no prior cardiovascular history who presents with a pericardial effusion and shock secondary to cardiac tamponade from pericarditis due to H1N1 influenza A.ConclusionsThis case highlights the potential severity of H1N1 infections and the utility of considering cardiac tamponade in patients presenting with influenza symptoms and circulatory collapse.

Increased vaccination rates and better understanding of influenza virus infection and clinical presentation have improved the disease's overall prognosis. However, influenza can cause life-threatening complications such as cardiac tamponade, which has only been documented in case reports. We searched PubMed/Medline and SCOPUS and EMBASE through December 2021 and identified 25 case reports on echocardiographically confirmed cardiac tamponade in our review of influenza-associated cardiac tamponade. Demographics, clinical presentation, investigations, management, and outcomes were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Among 25 cases reports [19 adults (47.6 ±15.12) and 6 pediatric (10.1 ± 4.5)], 15 (60%) were females and 10 (40%) were male patients. From flu infection to the occurrence of cardiac tamponade, the average duration was 7±8.5 days. Fever (64%), weakness (40%), dyspnea (24%), cough (32%), and chest pain (32%) were the most prevalent symptoms. Hypertension, diabetes, and renal failure were most commonly encountered comorbidities. Sinus tachycardia (11 cases, 44%) and ST-segment elevation (7 cases, 28%) were the most common ECG findings. Fourteen cases (56%) reported complications, the most common being hypotension (24%), cardiac arrest (16%), and acute kidney injury (8%). Mechanical circulatory/respiratory support was required for 14 cases (56%), the most common being intubation (9 cases, 64%). Outcomes included recovery in 88% and death in 3 cases. With improving vaccination rates, pericardial tamponade remains an infrequently encountered complication following influenza virus infection. The complicated cases appear within the first week of diagnosis, of which nearly half suffer from concurrent complications including cardiac arrest or acute kidney injury. Majority of patients recovered with timely diagnoses and therapeutic interventions.
