case_images: Echocardiography showed ejection fraction (EF) of 71%, fraction shortening (FS) of 38%, and moderate pericardial effusion (posterior pericardial cavity of 7.6 mm, left pericardial cavity of 8.7 mm, right pericardial cavity of 10.6 mm, apex of 2.8 mm, diaphragm of 5.2 mm, Figure 1).
case_images: Enhanced chest CT (the third day of admission): bilateral lung infection with massive consolidation; enlarged heart, moderate pericardial effusion, pericardial thickening, and enhancement; and a small amount of bilateral pleural effusion.

case_images: Enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) showed bilateral lung infection, enlarged heart, moderate pericardial effusion, pericardial thickening and enhancement, and a small amount of bilateral pleural effusion (Figure 2).
case_images: Ultrasound-guided pericardiocentesis was performed after bedside local anesthesia. Pericardiocentesis extracted 180 ml of pale yellow, clear, non-coagulated pericardial effusion.

case_images: The needle was inserted 3 cm in the direction of the right scapular region, and 180 ml of pale yellow, clear, non-coagulated pericardial effusion was extracted (Figure 3).
