Abstract

Korean hemorrhage fever(KHF) is an acute febrile disease with high fever, hypotension, gastrointestinal symptom, hemorrhagic symptom and renal failure. An adult patient with KHF presented with normal EKG on admission and no hypotensive period, subsequently developed dypnea on 10 th hospital days. Pulmonary edema pattern of the chest x-ray, T inversion of EKG and diffuse ventricular dyskinesia of echocardiography apperaed on 10th hospital days, and then disappered on 2 month. We experienced a rare case of KHF associtaed with myocarditis. This case suggests that the Myocarditis can be associated with KHF.
