[Acute myocarditis with Toxoplasma gondii. A case report in a newborn].
Acute myocarditis with Toxoplasma Gondii in immunocompetent patients is rare and the paediatric cases touch old children. These myocarditis lead sometimes cardiac insufficiency and sometimes mimic a myocardial infarction. The evolution is often favorable, even when there is no pest-destroying treatment. We report a case of myocarditis toxoplasma Gondii with which has occurred in a 11 month and half old infant, whose evolution was favorable with a symptomatic and pest-destroying treatment. The interest of this observation is related to the scarcity of acute myocarditis caused by toxplasmosis in infant without immunoinsufficiency.
