Acute myocarditis in a young male after gastroenteritis: A case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT: A 16-year-old patient presented with acute myocarditis after gastroenteritis. His ECGs showed STEMI-like evolutionary changes. Serial troponin measurement was maximum on 3rd day. Echocardiography showed a mildly reduced ejection fraction (45%). He made an uneventful recovery after appropriate treatment. After one-month follow-up, his ECG and echo returned to normal.
