Article Synopsis
- - Acute recurrent myopericarditis is a rare condition that occurs after a symptom-free period of 4-6 weeks, with no clear management guidelines, making it difficult to understand its causes and treatment.
- - A case study of a 44-year-old man showed he had recurrent myopericarditis caused by Coxsackie A virus, diagnosed through elevated biomarkers and pericardial effusion, and he improved with colchicine and ibuprofen.
- - The recurrence of myopericarditis can happen in 15%-50% of cases and is linked to various factors, but using current treatment methods for recurrent pericarditis has led to significant symptom relief, highlighting the need for more research into
Enteroviral Infections in Infants.
Newborn (Clarksville)
July 2022
Department of Gastroenterology, University of Illinois at Chicago, Illinois, United States of America.
Enteroviruses (EVs) are major pathogens in young infants. These viruses were traditionally classified into the following four subgenera: polio, coxsackie A and B, and echoviruses. Now that poliomyelitis seems to be controlled in most parts of the world, coxsackie and echoviruses are gaining more attention because (i) the structural and pathophysiological similarities and (ii) the consequent possibilities in translational medicine.

We report an 11-year-old female child presenting with hemorrhagic pericardial effusion causing cardiac tamponade along with moderate left ventricular dysfunction, who screened positive for Coxsackie B infection in the setting of cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain. She needed emergency pericardiocentesis. She also had massive bilateral hemorrhagic pleural effusions requiring bilateral chest drains placement.

Folia Med (Plovdiv)
December 2016
National Reference Laboratory of Infl uenza and Acute Respiratory Diseases, NCIPD, Sofia, Bulgaria
Background: Inflammatory diseases of the heart (myocarditis, pericarditis) are commonly caused by viruses. Among the human cardiotropic viruses, parvovirus B19, Coxsackie B viruses, and adenoviruses play a leading role.
Aim: The aim of the present study was to determine the presumptive causative role of parvovirus B19, Coxsackie B viruses, and adenoviruses in the development of myocarditis, pericarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy by demonstrating the presence of specific antiviral antibodies or viral DNA in patients' serum samples.
Post-transfusion breathlessness in a patient with acute myeloid leukaemia.
BMJ Case Rep
June 2015
Department of Internal Medicine, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, USA.
We present a case of a 38-year-old man with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in remission who developed sudden-onset chest pain and shortness of breath 30 min after receiving a blood transfusion. His condition deteriorated and required transferring him to the intensive care unit. The initial differential diagnosis was wide given his immunosuppression, recent chemotherapy, hospitalised status and receipt of blood products.
