“…Though antibiotic therapy is not recommended for NTS gastroenteritis, it is warranted in certain patients at high risk for infection 12) . Recent systematic review on cases of NTS myocarditis shows predominant occurrence in young adults and association with poor outcome 13) . Although Salmonella or other bacteria are rare causes, the possibility of myocarditis should be considered in any gastroenteritis patients presenting with cardiac manifestations.…”

Acute myocarditis is clinically rare in children, but poses a significant risk for morbidity and mortality. Children with myocarditis show a wide variety of clinical manifestations ranging from subclinical myocarditis to heart failure, hemodynamic compromise, arrhythmia, and even sudden death. Salmonella species are associated with clinical presentations including gastroenteritis, enteric fever, bacteremia, and extra-intestinal focal infections. Non-typhoidal Salmonella infections usually cause self-limiting gastroenteritis, but are rarely associated with myocarditis. In this report, we present a case of myocarditis associated with Salmonella serogroup B gastroenteritis in a previously healthy 15-year-old boy.

“…In this case report we add to the limited numbers of patients with myocarditis due to salmonella infection. One risk factor for myocarditis is testosterone which can explain the fact that most cases, including ours, are males [ 4 , 8 ]. However, other factors, such as immunological function and innate immunity are most likely present since his friend never developed any cardiac manifestations.…”

“…The most known disease due to Salmonella is typhoid fever or enteric fever caused by Salmonella typhi ( S. typhi and S. paratyphi ) These species are the most frequent reported species causing salmonella associated myocarditis but other non-typhoid salmonella (NTS), as in our case, are also infrequently reported but the mortality rate and morbidity cannot be specified [ 8 ]. Myocarditis might however lead to dilated cardiomyopathy that hold severe morbidity and mortality.…”

Myocarditis is mostly caused by viral infections and rarely caused by bacterial pathogens, especially in immunocompetent individuals. Bacterial myocarditis due to Salmonella is rare, especially in countries with improved sanitation that minimize contamination of Salmonella typhi serotypes. We here present a case of a previous healthy 22-year-old male that came to the emergency room with chest pain. His symptoms occurred after a period of profuse diarrhea, fever and hematochezia. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the diagnosis of myocarditis. Stool culture was positive for Salmonella enteritidis. Myocarditis due to Salmonella is rare but may still occur in western countries. The inter-individual response to the pathogens and its virulence mechanisms and male gender is factors for developing myocarditis. We here add to the numbers of cases with myocarditis due to S. enteritidis. A higher suspicion and more frequent ECG and troponin testing might result in an increase of patients with subclinical myocarditis.

“…Autopsies demonstrated histological evidence of myocarditis in around 50% of patients, who died of AIDS-related illness [26]. Bacterial infections such as brucellosis, diphtheria, psittacosis, and typhoid fever are also known to cause (peri-) myocarditis [27][28][29][30]. In addition, E. coli bacteraemia have been described to induce myocarditis [31].…”

Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common form of cardiomyopathy and the second leading cause of left ventricular dysfunction with highly variable clinical presentation and prognosis. The clinical courses vary and are strongly heterogeneous, ranging from asymptomatic patients to those suffering from intractable heart failure or sudden cardiac death due to arrhythmias. Previous studies have reported a 10 years cardiovascular mortality up to 40% in developed countries, due to advanced heart failure or sudden cardiac death. However, the prognosis of dilated cardiomyopathy patients is variable and depends on multiple risk factors. This chapter provides a review of dilated cardiomyopathy with specific focus on the pathophysiological aspects and genetic etiology of the disease.
