Bernd Heinzl et al. Eur J Pediatr. 2010 Jan.

Abstract

Two cases of myopericarditis associated with Campylobacter jejuni infection in male adolescents are presented. C. jejuni is the most common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide; however, cardiac complications are rare, even in adults. To our knowledge, these are the first reported cases of campylobacter-related myopericarditis in adolescents.
