ABSTRACT
Myocarditis is the inflammation of the heart muscle and it is caused by a wide range of infectious and non-infectious conditions. Non-typhoidal Salmonella infection, a common foodborne illness worldwide, only rarely causes myocarditis. We describe a case of an immunocompetent adult with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium myocarditis who had a favorable outcome due to early recognition of the causative factor and prompt initiation of appropriate treatment.
