Surprising diagnosis in a patient with acute coronary syndrome: a case report of acute streptococcal pharyngitis-associated perimyocarditis

摘要

Streptococcal pharyngitis is a common infection, with both suppurative and non-suppurative complications. Most importantly, a streptococcal infection can cause heart disease in different pathophysiological pathways. Acute non-rheumatic perimyocarditis appears to be a more frequent pathological entity associated with streptococcal pharyngitis as once thought, which is poorly understood and explored.
