Abstract
A 16-month-old girl was referred for tachycardia and upper respiratory tract infection. Echocardiographic examination revealed pericardial effusion, mild mitral regurgitation, and left ventricle systolic dysfunction. Patient was positive for Parainfluenza type 4 virus. Her laboratory tests revealed increased troponin I level. The patient was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin considering acute viral myopericarditis. Two weeks after treatment, midventricular hypertrophy was detected.
