摘要：

We present a 9-month-old child presenting with acute cardiomyopathy and fever following a viral illness. He was diagnosed to have acute myocarditis, was proposed for an external hemodynamic assistance but died of ventricular tachycardia. Post-mortem data revealed a very-long-chain acylcoenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency. Our report raises awareness on the interest for preserving tissue samples and for performing a metabolic screening in acute childhood cardiomyopathy. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
