    Abstract:
    A case of an 18-year-old male with a one-month history of progressive heart failure and suspected viral myocarditis is presented. Myocardial biopsy revealed mononuclear infiltration and the presence of granulocytes with micro-abscesses. Small bowel biopsy and autoimmunological examinations documented the presence of celiac disease. The patient's condition gradually improved following antibiotics, standard heart failure treatment, dental caries therapy and introduction of gluten-free diet.
