RESUMO
Mulher de 58 anos, sem antecedentes médicos relevantes, apresenta infecção respiratória pelo vírus H1N1, requerendo internação na Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos. Após a alta, refere progressiva astenia e dispneia, sendo internada nove meses depois por derrame pleural e infecção respiratória. Avaliação específica pela Cardiologia revela cardiomiopatia dilatada com má função sistólica do ventrículo esquerdo, compatível com miocardite. A ressonância magnética se apresenta compatível com miocardite. Dados os antecedentes e havendo sido descartada doença autoimune e tóxica, associou-se a doença ao vírus H1N1. O prognóstico é muito positivo, com recuperação quase total da função do ventrículo esquerdo.
ABSTRACT
A 58-year-old woman with no relevant prior medical conditions presented a respiratory infection caused by theH1N1 virus, requiring admittance to an Intensive Care Unit. After discharge, the patient complained of progressiveasthenia and dyspnea, being hospitalized nine months later with a diagnosis of pleural effusion and respiratory infection. Further evaluation by the Cardiology Unit revealed dilated cardiomyopathy with poor systolicfunction of the left ventrícle, compatible with myocarditis. A cardiac magnetic ressonance examination was compatible with myocarditis. Given her previousadmittance and having ruled out toxic aspects and autoimmune disease, the disease was associated with the H1N1 virus. The prognosis is very positive, with almost complete recovery of the left ventricular function.
