A Case of Recurrent Myocarditis after COVID-19 Vaccination due to Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

ABSTRACT: A 25-year old male presented with chest pain and elevated troponin following COVID-19 vaccination. Despite initial response to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, he developed a recurrent and relapsing course requiring multiple readmissions. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed myocarditis. Due to progressing macrocytic anemia, he was eventually diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, thought to be the underlying cause of driver of his recurrent and persistent myocarditis.
