ABSTRACT

Dengue is an acute febrile viral disease produced by the dengue virus, mainly transmitted by the bite of mosquitoes of the genus Aedes. It can take place with or without symptoms and it can cause serious clinical conditions. The case of a 47-year-old man is presented, who was admitted due to fever of three days of evolution, skin rash, nauseas, dry cough and lipothymias. Two days later, the rash worsened and extreme bradycardia appeared. The echocardiogram showed left ventricular dysfunction, with an ejection fraction of 38%. The patient was discharged after 14 days with the diagnosis of dengue complicated by myocarditis. It is evident that it was a viral myocarditis from the beginning of symptoms, which is described as unusual in the bibliography; cough and lipothymias were the expression of the low cardiac output, that together with the bradycardia, and the electro- and echocardiographic alterations, helped to establish the diagnosis.
