Resumen
Introducción

La miocarditis es definida como la inflamación del músculo cardiaco. A pesar de que existen síntomas que pueden ayudar a realizar su diagnóstico, el paciente puede encontrarse asintomático o debutar con muerte súbita. La clozapina es un medicamento indicado para el tratamiento de la esquizofrenia refractaria, el cual puede producir cardiopatías.

Objetivo

Presentar el caso de un paciente de 20 años, quién falleció debido a una miocarditis por clozapina.

Método

Reporte de caso.

Resultados

Se describe un caso asintomático y fatal de miocarditis por clozapina; se presentan las placas histológicas de miocardio con infiltrado eosinofílico, característico de la entidad.

Discusión

Se describen las características de la entidad y la forma de realizar su diagnóstico.

Conclusión

Aunque la miocarditis por clozapina es bastante rara (prevalencia: del 0,015% al 0,188%), puede producirse en mayor medida durante las primeras 8 semanas de tratamiento, período durante el cual debe investigarse de manera activa.

Palabras clave:
Miocarditis
hipersensibilidad

Abstract
Introduction

Myocarditis is a heart muscle inflammation. There are signs that can help make the diagnosis but, the patient may be asymptomatic or presented with sudden death. Clozapine is indicated for the treatment of refractory schizophrenia, it may cause cardiomyopathies.

Objective

To report the case of a 20-year-old who died of myocarditis due to clozapine.

Methods

Case report.

Results

We describe an asymptomatic case of fatal myocarditis due to clozapine, and we show histological slides of the heart with characteristic eosinophilic infiltration.

Discussion

We discuss the manifestations of the entity and how to diagnose it.

Conclusions

Although clozapine myocarditis is rare (prevalence: 0,015% – 0,188%). It may occur within 8 weeks of treatment, time which should be actively investigated.
