title: [Tubercular myocarditis: two case reports and review of the literature].
abstract: We report here the cases of two patients developing tubercular myocarditis with a different clinical presentation, the first one with a myopericarditis, the second one presenting as pseudo-infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock. We discuss here the different anatomical and clinical presentations, the diagnostic approach, the indications of myocardic biopsy and the prognosis of this pathology.
