[Myopericarditis due to enterovirus in association with rhabdomyolysis and renal failure].
We present the case of a 49 year old man who was admitted with odynophagia, fever and abdominal pain. Later he developed dyspnea and polymialgias. Pericardial effusion was detected on the echocardiogram. Renal failure and rhabdomyolysis developed worsening the clinical picture. A pericardial surgical drainage was decided due to cardiac tamponade. All samples were negative for bacteria and fungi. The presence of enterovirus in pericardial fluid was confirmed.
