摘要
Infectious myocarditis can be caused by a variety of agents, with enteroviruses being the most common. Myocarditis due to enteric bacteria is rare. We present pathological documentation of a rare case of a Campylobacter jejuni bowel infection leading to rapidly fatal myocarditis. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
