An Unusual Case of Acute Myopericarditis Possibly Due to Food Poisoning
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The manuscript describes the case of a 23 year-old woman, with acute myopericarditis associated with food poisoning without other cardiovascular disease. The patient had a history of hypothyroidism, treated with levothyroxine 75 μg/d, however she was clinically and biochemically euthyroid. We present a discussion of this rare association, followed by clinical presentation and treatment. This case report underlines the importance of considering possible cardiac complications when treating patients with food poisoning.
