Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) infection has been used as a viral model for multiple sclerosis (MS), as TMEV can induce chronic inflammatory demyelinating lesions with viral persistence in the spinal cord of SJL/J mice. In contrast, when C57BL/6 mice are infected with TMEV, the mice
A 43-year-old man was admitted to our hospital presenting with seizures and syncope. He had a history of a cold with a fever of 39°C occurring three days earlier. Electrocardiography (ECG) showed complete atrioventricular block (AV block) with a maximum pause of 32 seconds, for which temporary
Objective: To investigate the clinical features, treatment methods, and outcomes of fulminant myocarditis (FM) in children. Methods: The clinical data of 23 children with FM hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, Division of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of
A ten-year-old girl was admitted to hospital with convulsions due to Adams-Stokes syndrome as a complication of complete heart block. A rheumatic myocarditis was causing the conduction defect. As a temporary measure a pacemaker was used to treat the extremely serious condition. In addition,
Acute viral myocarditis is an uncommon but potentially fatal illness in children. Patients with myocarditis may present with nonspecific symptoms or atypical findings that make diagnosis in the emergency department difficult. We describe a previously healthy 14-month-old child with difficulty
We report a case of Lyme carditis in an otherwise-healthy young male who presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with syncope and a possible seizure. This patient, without documented history of Lyme disease, acutely developed third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block with episodic asystole, which
BACKGROUND
Myocarditis complicated with complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) is rare in children. The purpose of this study was to report the outcome of myocarditis with CAVB in our institution.
METHODS
Between June 1998 and June 2007, nine pediatric patients (aged from 1.5 to 16 years) were
OBJECTIVE
Pediatric myocarditis is a known cause of dilated cardiomyopathy and is associated with significant mortality. Our primary objective was to describe the frequency of presenting symptoms, signs, and investigation results among children diagnosed with acute myocarditis. Our secondary
A case is reported of a 27-year-old man who presented to an inner city trauma center after he had experienced several seizure-like episodes. He was diagnosed with Lyme carditis and required 6 weeks of treatment with intravenous ceftriaxone for complete resolution of his symptoms. The case is
A 31-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with loss of consciousness and generalized convulsions. Electrocardiography (ECG) showed complete atrioventricular block (AV block) with a pulse rate of 30 beats/min. Endomyocardial biopsy from the right ventricle showed massive necrosis and degeneration
Symptomatic second- or third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block at any anatomical level is a class I indication for permanent pacemaker implantation. We describe a 44-year-old male with acute viral myocarditis who suffered from syncope followed by a seizure attack associated with AV conduction
Myocarditis with complete atrioventricular block is a very unusual complication of the herpex simplex infection. We report a 10-year-old boy infected very likely by the herpes simplex virus and who presented with high fever, erythema multiforme, complete atrioventricular block, and Adams-Stokes
