Acute fulminant myocarditis in scrub typhus.
Scrub typhus is a zoonotic disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi in which humans are accidental hosts. It is a febrile illness which is confined to rural Asia and the Western Pacific islands. Severe complications are very rare. We report four cases of acute fulminant myocarditis in children with scrub typhus. This complication led to severe cardiogenic shock and death in two of them. We beli...
متن کاملEchocardiographic findings in fulminant and acute myocarditis.
OBJECTIVES We sought to use echocardiography to assess the presentation and potential for recovery of left ventricular (LV) function of patients with fulminant myocarditis compared with those with acute myocarditis. BACKGROUND The clinical course of patients with myocarditis remains poorly defined. We have previously proposed a classification that provides prognostic information in myocarditi...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic Study of Typhoid Myocarditis.
During the last century the conception of circulatory failure in the course of acute infectious diseases has been subjected to changes in several instances. Circulatory failure of every kind has, of course, a serious influence on the action of the heart itself, and for this reason in infectious diseases it was considered in those early days (1860-95) as heart failure, and the anatomical damage ...
متن کاملFulminant myocarditis due to H1N1 influenza.
Case 1 A 52-year-old woman presented with a 3-day history of chest pain, dyspnea, diffuse myalgias, and fever. The ECG demonstrated low voltage with diffuse ST segment elevation (Figure 1). The troponin I was 5 ng/mL (0 to 0.75 ng/mL), and B-type natriuretic peptide was 1629 pg/mL (0 to 100 pg/mL). The patient was transferred to our facility for urgent left heart catheterization. On presentatio...
متن کاملFatal fulminant myocarditis caused by disseminated mucormycosis.
Acute fulminant myocarditis is a critical clinical condition with sudden onset of severe congestive heart failure followed by severe haemodynamic deterioration. Instituting early left ventricular support may improve outcome and result in better long term survival. The case of an immunocompromised patient who developed acute fulminant myocarditis in the setting of disseminated mucormycosis is pr...
