Abstract
The potential etiologies of fulminant myocarditis include autoimmune diseases, infections, drug hypersensitivity, and drug/toxin reactions. We present an atypical case of fulminant myocarditis in a patient with a history of diabetic ketoacidosis with recent novel coronavirus (COVID-19) infection, who presented with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The patient improved with a three-day course of methylprednisolone 1 gram daily.
Keywords: covid 19; fulminant myocarditis.
