[Myocarditis and pericarditis in connection with Campylobacter jejuni infection].

K Melby1, E von der Lippe, J N Bruun.   

Abstract

We describe a case of myo/pericarditis related to infection with C. jejuni. The microbe was repeatedly isolated from faeces and the patient had specific IgA, IgM and IgG antibodies, detected in serum samples by means of a DIG-ELISA method. The condition is rare and the pathogenesis unclear. The case described may be the result of a primary infection or a reactive immune response.
