Implication

Consider EBV in young adults with acute myopericarditis; single case leaves open questions of causality and prevalence.

Case Report (n=1)

Structured PICO

Population

A 17-year-old immunocompetent male who presented with acute myopericarditis following a recent Epstein-Barr virus infection.

This case report demonstrates that acute myopericarditis can be a rare but significant manifestation of recent Epstein-Barr virus infection in immunocompetent young adults.

Limitations

Single case report
Rare presentation making generalization difficult

Roubille et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Acute myopericarditis (n=1). Epstein-Barr virus infection was evaluated on Diagnosis of acute myopericarditis. A 17-year-old immunocompetent male developed acute myopericarditis, confirmed by MRI and biomarkers, following a recent Epstein-Barr virus infection.
