International audience. We report herein a case of Morganella morganii-associated acute puru-lent pericarditis that developed 3 years after allogenic bone marrow transplanta-tion. The patient was successfully treated with surgical drainage and cefotaximefor 6 weeks. Splenectomy and immunosuppression for chronic GVH-D are likely tohave favored the development of this rare infectious complication after BMT.M. morganii should be added to the list of bacteria causing purulent pericarditis,especially in immunocompromised hosts.
