Implication

Transient ECG changes may mimic myocarditis in serum sickness; leaves open prevalence with modern allergens and need for specific evaluation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
1 27-year-old white woman with generalized allergic manifestations (serum sickness) caused by horse serum (tetanus antitoxin) administered for a puncture wound.
O
Outcome
Electrocardiographic changes (T wave changes) simulating acute myocarditissurrogate

Serum sickness from horse serum can cause transient electrocardiographic T wave changes that simulate acute myocarditis but resolve with the allergic symptoms.
