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. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/4081 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. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z
