摘要：Myocarditis is a relatively rare,possibly life-threatening disease characterized by the inflammation of the myocardium.[1] The disease pathogenesis is primarily initiated by acute injury and necrosis of cardiomyocytes,leading to an inflammatory response mediated by the immune system that can potentially cause further aggravation of myocardial damage and organ dysfunction.[2,3] Prognosis in patients with myocarditis depends on the clinical presentation,which ranges from an asymptomatic disease course to the concomitant development of cardiac arrhythmias,heart failure,cardiogenic shock and even the occurrence of death in extreme cases.[1] Amongst the infective etiologies,although viral infections are the most common,infections of bacterial and protozoal origin have also been implicated.[4] The present study describes a rare case of Staphylococcus lugdunensis (S.lugdunensis) myocarditis complicated by 1st and 2nd degree atrioventricular block (AVB).
