A Case of Recurrent Myocarditis After COVID-19 Vaccination, Due to Acute Myeloid LeukemiaNovel Teaching Points

A 25-year-old man presented with chest pain and an elevated troponin level following COVID-19 vaccination. Despite initial response to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, he developed a recurrent and relapsing course requiring multiple readmissions. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed myo...

description A 25-year-old man presented with chest pain and an elevated troponin level following COVID-19 vaccination. Despite initial response to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, he developed a recurrent and relapsing course requiring multiple readmissions. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed myocarditis. Due to progressing macrocytic anemia, he was eventually diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, thought to be the underlying driver of his recurrent and persistent myocarditis. Résumé: Nous relatons le cas d’un homme de 25 ans qui présentait une douleur thoracique et un taux élevé de troponine après avoir reçu un vaccin contre la COVID-19. Malgré la réponse initiale du patient aux anti-inflammatoires non stéroïdiens, le tableau clinique a évolué sur un mode récurrent et récidivant, et nécessité plusieurs réhospitalisations. L’imagerie par résonance magnétique cardiaque a permis de confirmer la présence d’une myocardite. Dans un contexte d’anémie macrocytaire évolutive, le patient a finalement reçu un diagnostic de leucémie myéloblastique aiguë, considérée comme le facteur sous-jacent de la myocardite récurrente et persistante dont il était atteint.
