Antibiotics resolve Campylobacter coli-associated myopericarditis in a 14-year-old male.
Case Report (n=1)
This is the first reported case linking Campylobacter coli to myopericarditis in children, demonstrating total resolution with antibiotic therapy.
Alerts to possible Campylobacter coli etiology in pediatric myopericarditis; extends infectious associations but remains hypothesis-generating.
We report the case of a 14-year-old male presented with raised myocardial injury biomarkers, on the workout, Campylobacter coli was identified on stool culture, treated with antibiotics with total resolution. Cardiac magnetic resonance showed interventricular septum and lateral wall hypokinesia and subepicardial delayed enhancement, with preserved ventricular systolic function. To our knowledge, this is the first report linking Campylobacter coli to myopericarditis in children.
