enteritis is the most common enteric infection in the developed world. Although rare, pericarditis and myopericarditis have been increasingly documented as complications following campylobacteriosis. The present paper implicates that myopericarditis and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy following infection might be more prevalent than initially thought and perhaps underreported so far. Therefore, it is imperative to perform the appropriate initial diagnostic testing, including stool cultures, in order to make an accurate diagnosis early in the course of the disease. Identifying the etiology of myopericarditis as bacterial will ensure appropriate treatment with antibiotics in addition to the cardiac medications needed for supportive care.
肠炎是发达国家最常见的肠道感染。虽然罕见，但心包炎和心肌心包炎作为弯曲菌病后的并发症越来越多地被记录下来。本文表明，感染后的心肌心包炎和非缺血性心肌病可能比最初认为的更普遍，且迄今为止可能报告不足。因此，必须进行适当的初始诊断测试，包括粪便培养，以便在疾病早期做出准确诊断。确定心肌心包炎的病因是细菌性的，除了支持治疗所需的心脏药物外，还能确保使用抗生素进行适当治疗。
