| pubmed-article:11079201 | pubmed:abstractText | The case of an 11-year-old child with acute myopericarditis associated with central European tick-borne encephalitis is presented. Cardiac involvement was demonstrated by pericardial effusion, elevated serum concentration of troponin-I and cardiac arrhythmia. Co-infections with enteroviruses, Borrelia burgdorferi or the agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis were excluded. Recovery was uneventful. CONCLUSION: Central European tick-borne encephalitis can be complicated by cardiac involvement. | lld:pubmed |
