Abstract |
A case of post-myorcardial infarction syndrome is reported in which fluid was aspirated months after the onset of acute myocardial infarction. The fluid was suppurative, composed almost exclusively of neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes. It is suggested that this response might be characteristic of this syndrome and that previous reports of a serosanguineous reaction might be due to contamination with blood from epicardial extension of the acute myocardial infarction.
