Title: Mycoplasma pneumonia : an unusual cause of acute myocarditis in childhood Authors: Formosa Gouder, Mireille; Bailey, Mark; Muscat, C.; Grech, Victor E.; Barbara, Christopher Abstract: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is primarily a respiratory pathogen but may affect exhibit a diverse range of presentations from asymptomatic infection to life threatening conditions. Myocarditis of varying severity is an unusual complication. We report a 6 year old with mycoplasma myocarditis, a rare age for such a presentation, and who responded well to treatment with no sequelae. Serological testing for Mycoplasma pneumoniae should be part of the routine work-up for myocarditis.

Title: Severe dilated cardiomyopathy as an unusual finding in a young infant with mucolipidosis type 2 Authors: Mueller, Peter; Moeckel, A.; Daehnert, I. Abstract: A neonate presented with mucopolysaccharidosis-like phenotypic expression and typical signs of dysostosis multiplex but without urinary excretion of glycosaminoglycans. Investigations of lysosomal enzymes in cultured fibroblasts revealed a mucolipidosis type 2, known as I-cell disease. This article describes the fatal course of the patient due to complications of an uncommon dilated cardiomyopathy in this rare disease and discusses the pathogenesis.
