Idiopathic Giant Cell Myocarditis: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Giant-cell myocarditis is an extremely rare disease of relatively young, predominantly healthy adults. The patients usually die of heart failure and ventricular arrhythmia unless a cardiac transplantation is performed. We present a case of sudden death in a healthy 45 years old male due to giant cell myocarditis having history of sudden collapse and ultimately death. Histopathology findings of the heart showed noncaseating granulomas with numerous giant cells. Ziehl-Neelsen staining of the sections for acid fast bacilli was negative; stains for fungi were also negative. So, this case is strongly considered to be a case of sudden death due to myocarditis as a result of idiopathic giant cell myocarditis, a rare case in literature
