Dengue Myocarditis: An Important Clinical Entity to Consider in Dengue Patient.

: We are going to report a case study of dengue fever (DF) affecting myocardium and explore the literature. A gentleman of 28 years old experienced DF which was complicated by acute myocarditis, acute kidney injury and hepatitis in the Emergency Department of Apollo Hospitals, Dhaka, Bangladesh on 5th August 2017. Clinically it was considered as an acute coronary syndrome due to depressed ST segment in chest leads ECG, extreme bradycardia but normal serum troponin-I level. He had to undergo temporary pacemaker insertion for symptomatic bradycardia and later on, he was monitored closely. Fortunately, he recovered; pacemaker was removed on day 8 of his admission without any further complication. After 3 days, patient recovered with symptomatic treatment. In different publications, various manifestations of cardiac complications occurred, from self-limiting tachy-brady arrhythmia to severe damage of the myocardium, causing reduced blood pressure and pulmonary edema. To reduce morbidity and mortality, physicians should suspect for cardiac complications in patients with dengue fever and should manage these complications.
