Two @entity1 aged 19 ( @entity1 A) and 37 ( @entity1 B) years respectively, presented with symptoms of general malaise, fever and nonspecific @entity854 . After admission both @entity1 developed @entity1457 . Cardiac ultrasound revealed severe left @entity409 . On the basis of these findings, @entity2401 was suspected. @entity1 B was placed on artificial ventilation and haemodialysis due to respiratory and @entity177 . Both @entity1 were treated with inotropic drugs and antibiotics. @entity3631 was established as the cause of the @entity2401 in @entity1 A but in @entity1 B no cause was found despite microbiological and autoimmune investigations. PCR tests and a biopsy of the myocardium were not performed. There was a satisfactory recovery in the left ventricle function of both @entity1 during admission. These two cases illustrate that (infectious) @entity2401 should be suspected in @entity1 presenting with symptoms of general malaise, fever and nonspecific @entity854 . If (infectious) @entity2401 is diagnosed, the @entity1 should be monitored for severe @entity712 .
