Abstract :
Perimyocarditis (PM) is one of the complications of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). This complication is often not be diagnosedbecause clinicians often focused on dengue shock syndrome (DSS) with similar clinical picture. It is reported that more than 70% ofpatients who experienced dengue hemorrhagic fever (DSS) is accompanied by the PM, although the PM can also occur without DSS.The clinical presentation of PM vary from mild clinical symptoms to cardiogenic shock. The virus group of B Arthoropod borne virus(Arbovirus) type DEN-2 and DEN-3 is the cause of DHF that often lead to PM. PM diagnosis was based on the existence of signs ofmyocarditis and pericarditis. Pericarditis is a continuation of the occurrence of myocarditis. Myocarditis symptoms such astightness, palpitations, chest pain, ECG changes, left ventricular dysfunction, and increase in cardiac markers (CKMB/troponin) orthere is a profile of myocarditis in MRI. Acute pericarditis is diagnosed if there are at least two criteria of the clinicalmanifestations: chest pain, frictional rub on auscultation, ECG changes such as ST elevation, and the presence of pericardialeffusion in the echocardiography. PM treatment is using NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants if needed. (FMI2015;51:118-124)
