Abstract
Myocarditis caused by nontyphoidal salmonellae is very rare in immunecompetent individuals. We present a case of a previous healthy 19-year-old male suffering from chest pain. Laboratory findings, ECG, echocardiogram and blood cultures led to the diagnosis of salmonella myocarditis. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance is a promising noninvasive diagnostic tool which is useful for follow-up and might help to confirm diagnosis. In patients with diarrhea and symptoms of angina pectoris, microbiological testing should include Salmonella enteritidis as possible cause for myocarditis.
