A 31-year-old woman suspected to have acute myocarditis was admitted to hospital and was managed with intra-aortic balloon pumping and a percutaneous cardiopulmonary support system because of sustained ventricular tachycardia. After immunoglobulin treatment, cardiac function and systematic inflammation were improved. The left ventricular endomyocardial biopsy revealed massive necrosis and degeneration of myocardial cells, and extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells. The clinicopathology of this patient was thought to be fulminant myocarditis. Serial serum thioredoxin (TRX) analysis showed that the serum level was high during the acute phase, and decreased during the chronic phase. Immunohistochemistry for TRX in the biopsy samples showed that inflammatory cells and cardiomyocytes were positively stained.
