Key result
Toxoplasma gondii infection is a rare cause of acute myocarditis in immunocompetent individuals that demonstrates an excellent clinical response to targeted treatment.
Why the study?
Myocarditis is a rare complication of toxoplasmosis, particularly in immunocompetent individuals.
Toxoplasma gondii should be considered as a rare but treatable cause of myocarditis even in immunocompetent patients.
Myocarditis is a rare complication of toxoplasmosis, especially in immunocompetent individuals. We present a case of a 28-year-old man with a history of fever and chest pain suggestive of myocarditis. Fever, along with lymphadenopathy, electrocardiography, imaging, and serologic testing, showed Toxoplasma gondii as the probable etiology. An excellent response to treatment confirmed the diagnosis.
