摘要：

We report a case involving a young female patient with Chlamydia pneumoniae myocarditis who required assist device therapy for acute heart failure. Early diagnosis was provided by endomyocardial biopsy, and tailored antibiotic therapy facilitated quick recovery of myocardial function. This is the first case to report detecting C pneumoniae as the pathogen responsible for fulminant myocarditis while the patient was still alive and to report long-term follow-up data.
