Abstract
The 2009 Pandemic Novel Influenza A [HIN1] resulted in mild disease mostly but severe cases and death were associated with pneumonia, respiratory failure and multi-organ failure. We present a case of severe disease with acute heart failure and arrhythmia due to fulminant myocarditis in a 50- year old obese man with diabetes mellitus.
