Seasonal influenza A (IA) and B (IB) viruses co-circulate every year, causing respiratory tract infections in individuals of all ages. Recently, the association between laboratory-confirmed influenza infection and acute myocardial infarction has been clearly demonstrated. However, most of the reported cases of fulminant myocarditis had been associated with influenza virus type A infection. Here we report the case of a 44 y/o man who experienced myocarditis with cardiogenic shock [requiring percutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support], following influenza B virus infection, which circulated widely in Italy in 2017-18.
季节性甲型（IA）和乙型（IB）流感病毒每年都会同时传播，可导致各年龄段人群发生呼吸道感染。最近，实验室确诊的流感感染与急性心肌梗死之间的关联已得到明确证实。然而，大多数暴发性心肌炎报告病例都与甲型流感病毒感染有关。在此，我们报告一例44岁男性病例，该患者在2017 - 18年在意大利广泛传播的乙型流感病毒感染后，发生了伴有心源性休克的心肌炎[需要经皮体外膜肺氧合（ECMO）支持]。
