Cardiac tamponade was present in six cases. Among the study population 9 (30%) patients were diagnosed as having pyogenic pericardial effusion and 8 (26.67%) had tubercular effusion. The predominant symptoms of pericardial effusion in our children were fever and tachycardia (83.33%).Other symptoms at presentation were tachycardia (76.67%), cough (63.33%), chest pain (50%), orthopnea (43.33%) and skin rash (16.67%). Pericardiocentesis was done in 14 cases (46.67%) of which 4 patients (13.33%) required pig tail catheterization.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Infectious etiology still remains the primary cause of pericardial effusion in our country.
