Abstract

We report of a 67 year-old female who has suffered a flu-like infection three days ago and presented with symptoms of acute coronary syndrome. Coronary heart disease could be excluded. The ventriculography showed a moderate reduced left ventricular function characterized by "apical ballooning". Endomyocardial biopsies and EDTA blood gave a direct proof of human herpes virus 6 subtype A. Histological and immunohistochemical analysis revealed a myocarditis with areas of interstitial macrophages and fibrosis. This case presents for the first time the cross-link of myocarditis with HHV6A infection and the appearance of "apical ballooning".
