“…Perimyocarditis refers to acute pericarditis with elevated troponin and LV ejection fraction less than 55% [ 6 ]. Shah et al reported a case of DENV infection in a young female, complicated by perimyocarditis and cardiac tamponade [ 7 ]. Another case of DENV infection in a young male presenting with hypotension was diagnosed as perimyocarditis later on [ 8 ].…”

Dengue is a febrile viral illness transmitted by Aedes Aegypti mosquito, presenting with a range of clinical features including a mild febrile illness to a life-threatening hemorrhagic fever or shock syndrome. Additionally, dengue fever can present with atypical features with the involvement of multiple organ systems including the heart. Here, we report a case of a 35-year-old female with dengue fever who presented with chest pain and dyspnea and was diagnosed with perimyocarditis.

“…Approximately 22% of fatal CHIK cases are caused by cardiovascular diseases, with heart failure being the most common. The most commonly reported abnormality in the electrocardiograms of patients with CHIK is the inversion of T waves in leads DII, III, aVF, V5-V6, and elevation of the ST segment [20][21][22] . Most patients who do not die from acute cardiac involvement completely recover; however, case reports show that cardiovascular compromise can cause subacute and chronic illness, emphasizing the need for longitudinal recognition and management of patients with atypical CHIK 23,24 .…”

Chikungunya fever (CHIK) is a neglected tropical disease associated with chronic arthritis. CHIK is usually a self-limiting condition; however, extra-articular manifestations present as atypical illness in a minority of patients. These atypical features may mimic other conditions and potentially distract physicians from the true diagnosis. This review analyzes the evidence of many unusual extra-articular manifestations reported in cases of CHIK. Depending on the affected system, these unusual manifestations include encephalitis, myocarditis, acute interstitial nephritis, cutaneous manifestations, acute anterior uveitis, abdominal pain, and depression. In addition, coinfections and comorbidities may cause atypical illness and obscure the diagnosis. Further studies are required to clarify the pathophysiology and natural history of CHIK, as it remains a burdening condition. Exploring its atypical symptoms may be the missing scientific piece of this puzzle.
