Overview

Background Mycobacterium africanum is a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and is endemic in West Africa, where it causes up to half of all cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. Here, we report the first isolation of Mycobacterium africanum from the pericardial effusion culture of a patient with tuberculous pericarditis. Case presentation A 31-year-old man, native from Senegal, came to the emergency room with massive pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade requiring pericardiocentesis. M. africanum subtype II was identified in the pericardial fluid. The patient completed 10 months of standard treatment, with a favorable outcome. Conclusions We report the first case of tuberculous pericarditis caused by Mycobacterium africanum , which provide evidence that this microorganism can cause pericardial disease and must be considered in patients from endemic areas presenting with pericardial effusion.
