Abstract

Objective: Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of theheart caused by various agents and especially enteroviruses,and it is difficult to diagnose and treat. Myocarditisis rarely associated with bacterial infections. Althoughthe most common bacterial infections are Salmonella spp.and Shigella spp., extremely rare cases of Myocarditis dueto Campylobacter jejuni are also reported.Patient and methods: A 17-year-old male patient with noprevious chronic illness was admitted to our emergencydepartment with complaints of abdominal pain, diarrhea,vomiting, and chest pain. He stated that symptoms beganafter eating a chicken burger a few days ago.Results: In the laboratory tests performed, CK-MB and highsensitive Troponin I values were determined as 33.8 IU/Land 1816 ng/L, respectively. Electrocardiogram resultsrevealed left axis left anterior hemiblock in the normalsinus rhythm as well as a ST-T change in the inferior andlateral derivations. Campylobacter jejuni was detected inthe stool sample of the patient.Conclusion: Myocarditis is one of the rare complicationsof C. jejuni infection. Bacterial myocarditis should be consideredwhen troponin and cardiac enzymes are elevatedin patients admitted to the emergency department withdiarrhea and chest pain.

Özet

Amaç: Kalbin inflamatuvar bir rahatsızlığı olan myokardit çeşitli ajanlar ve özellikle enterovirüsler ile meydana gelen tanı ve tedavisi zor olan bir hastalıktır. Myokardit nadir olarak bakteriyel enfeksiyonlar ile ilişkilendirilir. Bakteriyel enfeksiyonların en sık görülenleri Salmonella spp. ve Shigella spp. olmasına rağmen son derece nadir olan Campylobacter jejuni’ ye bağlı myokardit vakaları da görülmektedir. Hasta ve Yöntem: Daha önce herhangi bir kronik rahatsızlığı bulunmayan 17 yaşında erkek hasta, karın ağrısı, diyare, kusma ve göğüs ağrısı şikayetleriyle hastanemiz acil servisine başvurdu. Semptomların birkaç gün önce yediği tavuk hamburger ile başladığını ifade etti. Bulgular: Yapılan laboratuvar testlerinde CK-MB 33.8 IU/L ve hsTroponin I değeri ise 1816 ng/L olarak bulundu. Elektrokardiyogram sonucu normal sinüs ritminde sol aks sol anterior hemiblok ile birlikte inferior ve lateral derivasyonlarda ST-T değişikliği gözlendi. Alınan gaita örneğinde Campylobacter jejuni tespit edildi. Sonuç: Myokardit, Campylobacter jejuni enfeksiyonunun nadir komplikasyonlarından birisidir. Diyare ve göğüs ağrısı ile acil servise başvuran hastalarda Troponin ve kardiyak enzim yüksekliğinde bakteriyel myokardit düşünülmelidir.
