[Acute myocarditis in non-typhoid Salmonella infection]

Abstract

The authors report a case of myocarditis secondary to a Salmonella Virchow infection in a 20 year old non-immunodeficient man without a previous medical history. The outcome was favourable after treatment with fluoroquinolone. The features of this rare complication of non-typhic salmonella infection are discussed with respect to this and four other recently published cases.
