COVID-19-related myocarditis in a 21-year-old female patient
A 21-year-old female patient visited our hospital for febrile sensation, coughing, sputum,
diarrhoea, and shortness of breath during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
outbreak in Daegu, South Korea. Nasopharyngeal swab was positive for COVID-19.
Troponin I level was 1.26 ng/mL (< 0.3 ng/mL) and NT-proBNP was 1929 pg/mL (< 125
pg/mL). The chest radiograph revealed a multifocal consolidation on both lung fields and
cardiomegaly (Panel A). Electrocardiography showed nonspecific intraventricular …
