摘要

Cardiac involvement is very rare in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Pericarditis is the leading cardiovascular manifestation inSLE followed by endocarditis, conduction abnormality, coronary artery disease and myocardial dysfunction. Myocardial dysfunctionis most often subclinical, but may rarely progress to ventricular dysfunction, cardiogenic shock or severe congestive heart failure.Myocarditis leading to cardiac failure is a very unusual presentation of childhood lupus. We present a four and half-year-old youngboy who presented to us with features of congestive heart failure subsequently diagnosed to be secondary to fulminant lupusmyocarditis. Despite intensive management, the child ultimately succumbed. His echocardiography revealed dilated left ventriclewith an Ejection Fraction (EF) of 18.2%. A positive titre of p-ANCA was also seen in this case. Although, ANCA positivity hasbeen shown as a bad prognostic marker for lupus nephritis, its association with lupus myocarditis is still unknown. Decongestivemeasures along with immunosuppressant drugs remain the preferred treatment. This case highlights the protean presentation ofSLE in the form of lupus myocarditis leading to congestive heart failure that merits an urgent intervention because of the potentiallydevastating consequences.
