Acute streptococcal myocarditis is an uncommon diagnosis in the developed world. Its presentation masquerading as acute myocardial infarction is still uncommon. We describe a case of a young male presenting with a recent diagnosis of streptococcal pharyngitis followed by a classical presentation of post streptococcal myocarditis. This is an unusual presentation of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) masquerading as acute myocardial infarction, with a discussion on its diagnosis and management.
急性链球菌性心肌炎在发达国家是一种不常见的诊断。其表现伪装成急性心肌梗死的情况仍然不常见。我们描述了一例年轻男性病例，该患者近期诊断为链球菌性咽炎，随后出现典型的链球菌感染后心肌炎表现。这是急性风湿热（ARF）伪装成急性心肌梗死的一种不寻常表现，并对其诊断和管理进行了讨论。
