RESUMO
Parasitic diseases may occasionally affect the cardiovascular system while it is rarely seen in childhood. Parasites may directly or indirectly affect the heart in the form of myocarditis, pericarditis, pancarditis, or pulmonary hypertension. Therefore, it should be kept in mind that parasites may be responsible for myocardial and pericardial disease anywhere around the globe. Herein, we report an adolescent boy with myocarditis associated with enteric amebiasis.
