Typhoid fever with myocarditis in children.
Two children with typhoid myocarditis have been presented. Although the mortality rate with this complication particularly in presence of heart block is high both patients survived. Heart block was successfully treated with isoproterenol and xylocaine. The possibility of myocarditis must be considered in any child with typhoid.
