Acute Myopericarditis secondary to campylobacter jejuni enterocolitis
Myo (peri) carditis is a rare condition that can mimic an acute coronary syndrome. Infective myocarditis is most commonly due to viral infections while bacterial etiology is extremely rare. There are only a few case reports of Campylobacter jejuni associated myocarditis. We present a case of previously healthy young adult male who developed myopericarditis shortly after infectious gastroenteritis caused by Campylobacter jejuni. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of Campylobacter jejuni myopericarditis in Lithuania.
