Journal Title: Hippocrates Medical Journal - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Myocarditis is most often caused by a viral infection, it has also been shown that it is sometimes associated with bacteria. Myocarditis associated with gastrointestinal infections is rare and its pathogenesis has not been clearly defined. We present a case, which have complaints of fever, diarrhea and chest pain of myocarditis mimicking acute coronary syndrome. The patient who applied with the complaint of diarrhea was taken back to the clinic after he had chest pain and increased cardiac biomarkers after discharge. After the continuation of chest pain and an increase in tropinin values, coronary angiography was performed on the patient. The patient was diagnosed with myocarditis due to salmonella enteritis due to normal coronary anatomy, high cardiac biomarkers and Non-Typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) reproduction in stool culture. After the Acetylsalicylic acid, Metoprolol, Ceftriaxone treatment given to the patient, rapid improvement was observed in the patient’s clinic. In this article, we also present a rare case of myocarditis, which can have fatal consequences
