Clostridium novyi is a Gram-positive anaerobe, which is commonly a pathogen of domestic and wild animals. Disease in humans typically presents as myonecrosis. C. novyi has not previously been reported as a cause of myocarditis. We report a fatal case with infection of the myocardium by C. novyi type B.
