Abstract

We describe a fatal case of myopericarditis presenting with cardiac tamponade in a previously healthy 11 years old child. Pandemic H1N1 2009 influenza A virus sequences were identified in throat, myocardial tissues and pericardial fluid, suggesting a damage of myocardial cells directly caused by the virus.
