- Seasonal influenza A (IA) and B (IB) viruses co-circulate every year, causing respiratory tract infections in individuals of all ages. Recently, the association between laboratory-confirmed influenza infection and acute myocardial infarction has been clearly demonstrated. However, most of the reported cases of fulminant myocarditis had been associated with influenza virus type A infection. Here we report the case of a 44 y/o man who experienced myocarditis with cardiogenic shock [requiring percutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support], following influenza B virus infection, which circulated widely in Italy in 2017-18.
