AbstractFour cases of purulent complications in the heart following acute myocardial infarction are described. Fever occurred during the first week after coronary occlusion. In one case thrombophlebitis at an infusion site was followed by purulent pericarditis. One patient had an infected mural thrombus with peripheral septic embolic, and two suffered from streptococcal endocarditis. The association between these infections and recent acute myocardial infarction could be related to tissue necrosis and local thrombosis, but the increasing risk of bacteremia following invasive monitoring procedures in these patients is a risk factor that should not be ignored.
