Case Report on Dengue Induced Myocarditis

Abstract

Background: Due to the wide range of clinical symptoms, myocarditis is a difficult diagnosis. Myocarditis can range from mild to severe, resulting in congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, cardiogenic shock, and death. It predicts morbidity and mortality in dengue-infected patients. Case presentation: we presented a 12year old child who came to the pediatric department brought by mother with a chief complaint of high grade Fever insidious onset since 5 days, Episodes of vomiting non projectiles, non-foul smelling contain food particles since 5 days and pain in abdomen more in right hypochondrial region, non-radiating. He has a no previous history of hospitalization.During a physical examination Head to toe examination reveals few abnormalities; the kid is slim and skinny, with a dreary appearance. He is frail and uncooperative.. Though it found that he develop acute myocarditisand the patient treated with antibiotic, antacid , antipyretic, antidiuretic as well as antiemetic.Conclusion: Dengue-induced myocarditis is a serious condition. Through direct virus activity on cardiomyocytes, dengue virus can induce unusual symptoms such as acute myocarditis, cardiogenic shock, and death. Physicians caring for dengue patients should be aware of this potential result. Elevated cTn-I predicts length of stay and in-hospital death in dengue-infected patients. Diabetes, hypertension, low blood bicarbonate, high serum creatinine, and any echocardiographic abnormalities were all linked to poor outcomes in dengue-infected people.
