Background Myocarditis is a significant health threat today, with infectious agents being the most common cause. Accurate diagnosis of the etiology of infectious myocarditis is crucial for effective treatment. Main body Infectious myocarditis can be caused by viruses, prokaryotes, parasites, and fungi. Viral infections are typically the primary cause. However, some rare opportunistic pathogens can also damage heart muscle cells in patients with immunodeficiencies, neoplasms and those who have undergone heart surgery. Conclusions This article reviews research on common and rare pathogens of infectious myocarditis, emphasizing the complexity of its etiology, with the aim of helping clinicians make an accurate diagnosis of infectious myocarditis.

Campylobacter jejuni, a common cause of gastroenteritis worldwide, has also been associated with rare extraintestinal infections, including myocarditis. We report a unique case of a 24-year-old male who presented with febrile diarrhea and acute chest pain. Diagnostic investigations revealed elevated cardiac troponin levels, normal electrocardiography findings, and myocardial inflammation on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, confirming the diagnosis of acute myocarditis. Stool cultures identified Campylobacter jejuni as the causative agent. The patient was managed with supportive care, including hydration and electrolyte replacement, and a three-day course of azithromycin (500 mg daily). He achieved a full recovery and was discharged after eight days, with subsequent follow-up demonstrating the complete resolution of myocardial dysfunction. This case emphasizes the need to consider Campylobacter jejuni-related myocarditis in the differential diagnosis of young patients presenting with chest pain and diarrhea, along with an overview of its diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
