Fulminant perimyocarditis is a rare and potentially fatal condition that may mimick myocardial infarction. The long-term prognosis is favourable, once the patient has survived the index admission, and recurrence is extremely rare. This case describes a 35-year-old man, who experienced recurrence twice within six months. Due to the risk of a potentially fatal outcome, patients should be followed closely with clinical controls of infection parameters and echocardiography.
