Abstract

Dengue is an arthropod-borne viral illness, mostly asymptomatic, but may present with a wide variety of clinical manifestations, from mild febrile illness to severe and fatal disease. Cardiac involvement is a significant yet under-reported one because of lack of awareness. We report a case of myocarditis in Dengue Fever with an intention to create awareness among the physicians.
