In October 1986, we treated a 28-year-old gay man with a 1-month history of temperature to 40 °C, chills, cough, nausea, and anemia. A gallium scan showed abnormal myocardial uptake, and a subsequent echocardiogram showed four-chamber enlargement and depressed systolic function without evidence of primary valvular disease. Because of symptoms of congestive heart failure, cardiac catheterization was done, including...Reference1. CALABRESEPROFFITTYEN-LIEBERMANHOBBSRATLIFF LMBRN.
