Myocardial abscess and sternal osteomyelitis following myocardial infarction and resuscitation.

R E Smith1, J E Martin, P G Mills.   

Abstract

A 58 year old man presented with an anterior myocardial infarction requiring repeated resuscitation. He had impaired glucose tolerance. He died five weeks later and post-mortem examination revealed a myocardial abscess and sternal osteomyelitis due to Staphylococcus aureus. These had not been apparent clinically. The possible aetiology and difficulties in diagnosis are discussed.
