    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • Shigella sonnei is a common cause of bacterial dysentery.
    • Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, often caused by viral infections.

    Observation:

    • A 19-year-old male presented with fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
    • Electrocardiogram revealed persistent diffuse ST-T wave changes.

    Findings:

    • Stool culture confirmed Shigella sonnei infection.
    • The patient's cardiac symptoms were attributed to Shigella-induced myocarditis.

    Implications:

    • This case suggests myocarditis is a potential, previously unreported complication of Shigella sonnei infection.
    • Further research is needed to understand the mechanism and prevalence of cardiac involvement in shigellosis.
