Myocarditis is a focal or diffuse inflammatory process of the myocardium. Along with the deepening of research, there are new technological advances which are useful to the diagnosis and treatment of myocarditis. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging has become a useful noninvasive imaging tool for diagnosis of myocarditis, but does not replace endomyocardial biopsy. The supportive treatment has remained the mainstay of therapy for patients with myocarditis, especially with fulminant myocarditis, including the comprehensive treatment of shock, heart failure, and arrhythmia. Due to the lack of large clinical data, diagnosis and treatment for myocarditis remains to be further explored.

Hypersensitivity myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium usually related to drug allergy. The clinical manifestation may be nonspecific, and the diagnosis is seldom suspected or established during the life. So in most of the reported patients, the diagnosis was made at autopsy. Although, retrospectively, more than 90% of the patients described have had clinically recognizable cardiac involvement before death, tole clinical suspicion of hypersensitivity myocarditis is rare. The presence of nonspecific cardiac finding in a patient receiving any drug associated with hypersensitivity should alert the clinician to the possibility of drug related myocarditis. We experienced a case of hypersensitivity myocarditis accompanying allergic skin lesion in a 58 years old man with a history of taking cefadroxil. Fortunately, the outcome was favorable, therefore we do not have histologic confirmation of the diagnosis.

Acute pericarditis usually presents with chest pain and diffuse ST segment elevation on ECG. Several reports indicate that large numbers of patients with a diagnosis of acute pericarditis have elevated troponin I, a sensitive and highly specific marker for cardiac injury, and this suggests a high incidence of concomitant, otherwise, silent myocarditis. This case patient had elevated troponin I which is a biomarker of myocardial injury and injury pattern of ST segment elevation on ECG accompanied in military tuberculosis.
