Dengue myocarditis masquerading as ST elevation myocardial infarction
Journal Title: Medical Journal Armed Forces - Year 2019, Vol 75, Issue 1
Abstract
Dengue fever is a common arboviral disease, which has a wide clinical spectrum ranging from a mild febrile illness to severe forms such as dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. Cardiac involvement in dengue fever is not uncommon and has been reported in literature since 1970 as nonspecific electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities, arrhythmias, raised cardiac biomarkers, myocarditis, and pericarditis.
