ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1097/INF.0000000000002527 | Abstract: | Myocarditis is commonly associated with viruses. However, we present a novel case of a teenager with pneumococcal pneumonia and bacteremia complicated by myocarditis and rhabdomyolysis, presenting with features of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock. Physicians should be aware that Streptococcus pneumoniae infection, like Group A Streptococcus, can mimic acute myocardial infarction in young males without cardiovascular risk factors. | Source Title: | PEDIATRIC INFECTIOUS DISEASE JOURNAL | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/205857 | ISSN: | 08913668 15320987 |
