ABSTRACT

Myocarditis is an inflammatory myocardial disease, often due to autoimmune or infectious causes, among them; viral etiology is the most frequent. However, influenza AH1N1 related myocarditis is rare. We report the case of a young patient with influenza AH1N1 pneumonia and secondary myocarditis.
