title: [Ventricular dysfunction during acute fever in Dakar, Senegal. Clinical data and serological studies].
abstract: During a study, the authors observed clinical and ultrasound evidence of "ventricular dysfunction during acute fever" due to ue to "severe acute myocarditis" supports therapeutic management since 4/8 patients in this study were infected either by Chlamydia (CT and especially CP) or by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, that are both sensitive to antimicrobial therapy using macrolides. Five of 8 patients presented coinfection with 2 and even 3 infectious agents (CP-enterovirus-adenovirus).
