dc.description.abstractIntroduction:- Carditis is a group of inflammatory cardiac diseases with the affection of myocardium, i.e. "Myocarditis is inflammation of the myocardium". It is caused by an infection or toxins or autoimmunity or other causes. It is present in all age groups, but more frequent in children of the first years of life with predominance of boys. From data of autopsy, nonrheumatic carditis are found in 3-9% of children, who died from unknown causes. Its manifestations are age dependent. In early infancy- viral myocarditis often occurs as a acute, fulminant disease. In toddlers, young children - it occurs as an acute myopericarditis. In older children, adolescents it is often asymptomatic and comes to clinical attention primarily as a precursor to DCM. Here I present a case of a young boy who presented with dyspnoea of few years duration. He was found to have dilated cardiomyopathy secondary to chronic CMVinfection. He responded to treatment.en_US
