    This study details a rare case of Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) myocarditis in a young male. C. jejuni infection was confirmed through stool culture and antibody development, ruling out other common causes.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Cardiology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, can have various infectious etiologies.
    • Campylobacter jejuni is a common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis but rarely associated with cardiac complications.

    Observation:

    • A young male presented with symptoms suggestive of myocarditis.
    • Campylobacter jejuni was identified in the patient's stool samples.
    • The patient developed specific antibodies against C. jejuni.

    Findings:

    • Diagnostic tests excluded other potential etiological agents, including Salmonella, Shigella, Brucella abortus, beta-hemolytic Streptococcus Group A, Treponema pallidum, and coxsackievirus B.
    • The findings strongly indicate C. jejuni as the causative agent of myocarditis in this case.

  • This case highlights a rare extra-intestinal manifestation of C. jejuni infection.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the known spectrum of C. jejuni-associated diseases.
    • It underscores the importance of considering C. jejuni in the differential diagnosis of myocarditis, especially in patients with compatible gastrointestinal symptoms.
    • Further research may elucidate the mechanisms by which C. jejuni can lead to myocarditis.
