Campylobacter jejuni colitis was associated with the development of acute myocarditis, confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, in a 25-year-old male patient.
Why the study?
Myocarditis is a rare complication of acute diarrhea due to Campylobacter jejuni infection.
Highlights a rare case of acute myocarditis occurring as a complication of Campylobacter Jejuni colitis.
Consider myocarditis in Campylobacter colitis with cardiac symptoms; leaves open whether this is causal or coincidental.
Myocarditis is a rare complication of acute diarrhea due to Campylobacter Jejuni infection. We present the case of 25-year-old male who presented with campylobacter jejuni colitis who subsequently had chest pain and elevated cardiac biomarkers. The patient developed acute myocarditis confirmed on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
