  • Title: Non-rheumatic streptococcal myocarditis mimicking acute myocardial infarction in an adolescent male.
    Author: O'Brien CE, Coulson JD, Sekar P, Resar JR, Nelson McMillan K.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2018 Mar; 28(3):454-457. PubMed ID: 29306334.
    Abstract:
    An adolescent male with a recent history of streptococcal pharyngitis presented with severe substernal chest pain, troponin leak, and ST-segment elevation, which are suggestive of acute inferolateral myocardial infarction. The coronary angiogram was normal. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with non-rheumatic streptococcal myocarditis. He was treated with amoxicillin and had excellent recovery. Non-rheumatic streptococcal myocarditis is an important mimic of acute myocardial infarction in young adults.
