Tuberculous myocarditis is one of the rare causes of sudden death. We report a case of 65-year-old female who came with diabetic foot and died suddenly after 2 days of hospital stay. On autopsy, she was found to have tuberculous myocarditis with granulomatous inflammation only in the liver and without pulmonary or mediastinal lymph node involvement. These findings are very unusual in tuberculous myocarditis.
结核性心肌炎是猝死的罕见原因之一。我们报告一例65岁女性患者,因糖尿病足入院,住院2天后突然死亡。尸检发现,她患有结核性心肌炎,仅在肝脏有肉芽肿性炎症,且无肺或纵隔淋巴结受累。这些发现在结核性心肌炎中非常罕见。
