Abstract
Dear Editor, Campylobacter Jejuni (C. Jejuni) is the most common cause of infectious enterocolitis in the developed world, with an annual incidence as high as 1 in 1000 in the developed world and about 2.5 million cases per year in the United States with male gender predominance. Campylobacter-associated myocarditis (CAM) is a very rare and potentially life-threatening complication of C. Jejuni enterocolitis (CEC). The majority of cases include a subtle history of abdominal pain and diarrhea that progressively worsens. Chest pain and shortness of breath follow in most cases of myocarditis. We present a case of CAM mimicking acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and treated successfully with antibiotic and supportive care. We hope to increase awareness of this rare, but potentially fatal complication.
