Myocarditis Following Invasive Group A <i>Streptococcus</i> Infection: Important Differential Diagnostic Distinctions. [PDF]
Case Rep Infect DisNonrheumatic streptococcal pharyngitis−associated myocarditis presents as acute myocarditis within days of Group A Streptococcus pharyngitis, typically resolving with antibiotics and minimal sequelae. It is thought to result from direct bacterial toxin injury rather than autoimmunity.

A Case of Jarisch-Herxheimer Reaction After Ceftriaxone Initiation for Lyme Carditis in Postpartum Female. [PDF]
Case Rep Infect DisLyme carditis is a complication occurring in 1%–5% of Lyme disease infections. It can lead to life‐threatening cardiac conduction abnormalities. Treatment with antibiotics may trigger the Jarisch–Herxheimer reaction (JHR), an acute inflammatory response to spirochetal lysis. Here, we present a 32‐year‐old postpartum female with complete heart block and

Antagonistic Interplay between MicroRNA-155 and IL-10 during Lyme Carditis and Arthritis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 MicroRNA-155 has been shown to play a role in immune activation and inflammation, and is suppressed by IL-10, an important anti-inflammatory cytokine. The established involvement of IL-10 in the murine model of Borrelia burgdorferi-induced Lyme arthritis
