| Abstract | Myocarditis can develop secondary to several medications. Here, we report a case of myocarditis related to the use of lamotrigine. A 15-year-old boy was admitted to another hospital because of a chest pain that was sustained for 30 minutes. He was transferred to our hospital after detection of cardiac enzyme elevation. He was evaluated in our center, where electrocardiography revealed non-specific ST elevation at inferior derivations, and the level of troponin T was found to be 0.47 ng/ml (0-0.1), while creatinin kinase MB was found to be 38 ng/ml (0-4.97). Systolic cardiac functions were normal via echocardiography. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed minimal pericardial effusion and a minimal decrease in left ventricular function. He was hospitalized with the diagnosis of myocarditis. Viral and bacterial agents that can cause myocarditis were excluded via serological tests. He had been on a lamotrigine treatment due to epilepsy, and after cessation of lamotrigine, his cardiac enzyme levels returned to normal. Therefore, we diagnosed him with drug related myocarditis due to lamotrigine. If an etiology cannot be found during the evaluation of a myocarditis case, drug hypersensitivity should be considered. Changing the responsible drug for hypersensitivity may be beneficial for these patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
