[Acute myocarditis caused by toxoplasmosis simulating infarction. Apropos of a case].
Acute myocarditis due to toxoplasmosis infection has been previously reported, usually in patients suffering from immuno-depression. Cardiac involvement by toxoplasmosis is rare in subjects with a normal immunological status. The authors report the case of a 16-year-old patient without immuno-depression with acute myocarditis caused by toxoplasmosis simulating myocardial infarction.
