Abstract
|
|
|
Myocarditis, an inflammatory process involving the myocardial wall, may be caused by most infectious agents. Irrespective of its etiology, it presents commonly with evidence of heart failure, hypotension, and various electrocardiographic
abnormalities.
Patient with myocarditis may be asymptomatic or may have a rapidly progressive fatal disease. Medical management of patients with myocarditis includes specific therapy for underlying infection and control of the complication of myocarditis such
as
congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. There is hardly any clinical report regarding myocarditis in staphylococcal bacteremia. Recently we had experienced staphylococcal sepsis with myocarditis and complete atrioventricular block in 36-year-old
man
following furuncle on right flank area. Clinically he had shown complete recovery after administration of antibiotics and insertion of permanent pacemaker, so we report it with review of the literature.
