SUMMARYThe prevalence of cardiac morbidity due to Change' disease was assessed in a rural community in Central Bolivia. Sixty-nine of 104 persons (66%) were seropositive to Trypanosoma cruzi by two serological methods. Two of 35 (6%) seronegative individuals presented with modest ECG alterations (left anterior hemiblock), but 21 of 69 (30%) seropositives showed modest and severe abnormalities (6 complete right bundle branch block. 2 polyfocal or frequent extrasystoles, 9 ischaemic ST alterations). A high percentage (56%) of domiciliary Triatoma infestans was infected with T. cruzi. There was a significant association between seropositivity and substandard housing. Priority preventive measures should thus include house improvement (to reduce bug infestation) and health education.

Abstract Objective Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart caused by various agents and especially enteroviruses, and it is difficult to diagnose and treat. Myocarditis is rarely associated with bacterial infections. Although the most common bacterial infections are Salmonella spp. and Shigella spp., extremely rare cases of Myocarditis due to Campylobacter jejuni are also reported. Patient and methods A 17-year-old male patient with no previous chronic illness was admitted to our emergency department with complaints of abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and chest pain. He stated that symptoms began after eating a chicken burger a few days ago. Results In the laboratory tests performed, CK-MB and high sensitive Troponin I values were determined as 33.8 IU/L and 1816 ng/L, respectively. Electrocardiogram results revealed left axis left anterior hemiblock in the normal sinus rhythm as well as a ST-T change in the inferior and lateral derivations. Campylobacter jejuni was detected in the stool sample of the patient. Conclusion Myocarditis is one of the rare complications of C. jejuni infection. Bacterial myocarditis should be considered when troponin and cardiac enzymes are elevated in patients admitted to the emergency department with diarrhea and chest pain.
