Zika virus infection is commonly described as a mild and self-limiting illness. However, cardiac complications were associated with acute Zika virus infection.
A 46-year-old woman without previous comorbidities with a 1-day history of symptoms tested positive for ZIKV by real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR). She was admitted two days after with clinical worsening, cardiac enzymes elevated, and cardiac imaging findings, and the diagnosis of myopericarditis was made. The patient was treated and presented significant clinical improvement after one year.
Cardiac complication following ZIKV infection appears to be infrequent. Here, we report a rare case of viral myopericarditis caused by ZIKV infection.
寨卡病毒感染通常被描述为一种轻微的自限性疾病。然而，心脏并发症与急性寨卡病毒感染有关。
一名 46 岁的女性，无既往合并症，有 1 天的症状史，实时逆转录聚合酶链反应（rRT-PCR）检测寨卡病毒阳性。两天后，她因临床恶化、心肌酶升高和心脏影像学发现而入院，诊断为心肌炎。患者接受了治疗，一年后临床症状显著改善。
寨卡病毒感染后出现心脏并发症似乎并不常见。在这里，我们报告了一例由寨卡病毒感染引起的罕见病毒性心肌炎病例。
