Abstract		Background. Chlamydia pneumoniae is recently discovered pathogen, which causes mainly respiratory tract infections but also has been associated with infections of the heart muscle. There are little reports in literature connecting all three of them and this makes difficulties in chlamydia infection diagnosis. Conclusions. In following case report we present a patient with pneumonia and concurrent pericarditis with cardiac tamponade. Aetiology was C. pneumoniae and treatment with erythromycin was successful.
Summary		Izhodišča. Chlamydia pneumoniae je nedavno odkrila bakterija, ki poleg okužb dihal lahko povzroča tudi vnetja srčne mišice. O povezavi vseh treh je v slovstvu malo poročil, zato pogosto pri diferencialni diagnozi ne pomislimo na možnost klamidijske okužbe. Zaključki. V članku opisujemo bolnika, ki je zbolel za pljučnico in akutnim perikarditisom z grozečo tamponado srca. Povzročitelj je bila Chlamydia pneumoniae, zdravljenje z eritromicinom pa uspešno.
