Myocarditis, defined as the inflammation of myocardial tissue has many causes which may be viral, metabolic or bacterial in origin. In this case, we report a patient aged 22 years who was admitted with presenting complains of loss of consciousness, generalized muscle rigidity and yellowish discoloration of the skin. During the course of his hospital stay, the patient developed signs of myocarditis and later died of hypotensive shock. Viral serology was positive for the presence of hepatitis E virus (HEV), a rare cause of myocarditis. HEV infection can range from asymptomatic disease course to fulminant hepatitis but in rare cases, it has been found to be a cause of myocarditis. This is so far the sixth case of hepatitis E induced myocarditis.

Positive Results

This study involved a death which occurred in four Himalayan griffons housed in Beijing zoo, China. Based on pathogen identification and the pathological changes observed, we did characterize the fungi and Hepatitis E virus (HEV) in four dead Himalayan griffons. Pathological changes were severe. Membranous-like material was observed on the surface of the internal organs. Spleen was necrotic. Focal lymphocyte infiltration in the liver and many sunflower-like fungi nodules were evident in the tissues, especially in the kidney. PCR was used to identify the pathogen. Based on the 18SrRNA genomic sequence of known fungi, the results confirmed that all four dead Himalayan griffons were infected withAspergillus. At the same time the detection of HEV also showed positive results. To the best of our knowledge, this work appears to be the first report of concurrent presence of Aspergillosis and Hepatitis E virus in rare avian species.
