A reconsidered diagnosis in an unresolving myocarditis—a case report

In this case, an interplay between Klinefelter's Syndrome and Muscular Dystrophy is demonstrated, potentially protecting our patient against a more aggressive Duchenne phenotype of muscular dystrophy. Upon non-resolution of symptoms, re-evaluating his presentation, investigations and taking into account his background multi-system medical history lead us to performing the genetic testing which revealed the correct diagnosis.

Abstract

In this case, an interplay between Klinefelter's Syndrome and Muscular Dystrophy is demonstrated, potentially protecting our patient against a more aggressive Duchenne phenotype of muscular dystrophy. Upon non-resolution of symptoms, re-evaluating his presentation, investigations and taking into account his background multi-system medical history lead us to performing the genetic testing which revealed the correct diagnosis.
