Abstract

Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart muscle. Most cases are caused by viral agents such as enteroviruses and adenoviruses. Cytomegalovirus is one of the more rare causes of viral myocarditis. In this article, case is reported of viral myocarditis diagnosed due to Cytomegalovirus infection and which then responded very rapidly to intravenous immunoglobulin treatment. This case report can be considered to contribute to literature as there are not enough data about intravenous immunoglobulin treatment results in Cytomegalovirus myocarditis.

İntravenöz immünoglobulin tedavisine hızlı yanıt veren Sitomegalovirüs miyokarditi

Abstract

Miyokardit; kalp kasının enflamatuar bir hastalığıdır. Olguların çoğunda etken enterovirüsler ve adenovirüsler gibi viral ajanlardır. Sitomegalovirüs viral miyokarditin daha nadir görülen nedenlerinden biridir. Bu makalede Sitomegalovirüs enfeksiyonuna bağlı viral miyokardit tanısı konulan ve intravenöz immunglobulin tedavisine çok hızlı yanıt veren bir olgu sunuldu. Sitomegalovirüs miyokarditinde intravenöz immunglobulin tedavisi sonuçları ile ilgili yeterli veri olmaması nedeniyle bu olgu sunumunun literatüre katkıda bulunacağını düşünüyoruz.
