Key result
Campylobacter enteritis is a rare but potential cause of myopericarditis, as demonstrated by a case report of a 47-year-old patient and a review of the literature.
Highlights a rare case of myopericarditis occurring as a complication of Campylobacter enteritis.
May prompt consideration of Campylobacter in myopericarditis evaluation; leaves open true incidence and causality.
Myocarditis sometimes occurs as a complication of bacterial infection, including enteric infections caused by Salmonella, Shigella and Yersinia. Only a few cases of Campylobacter-associated myocarditis are known. We describe a 47-y-old patient with myopericarditis in association with Campylobacter spp. enteritis, and review similar cases previously described in the English literature.
