Myocarditis can be caused by a variety of infectious and non-infectious illnesses [1]. Although viral infection remains the most commonly identified cause of myocarditis, the role of parvovirus B19 (B19V) from the Erythrovirus genus in the pathogenesis of myocarditis has been identified as a potentially important contributor to myocarditis because of the high prevalence of Parvovirus B 19 (B19V) DNA in hearts of patients with myocarditis [2]. Co-infections of cardiotropic viruses are rarely reported and the mechanisms of viral interactions remain unknown [3]. In this report, we present a case of acute myocarditis in a young male, precipitated by a co-infection of Parvovirus B19 and COVID-19, characterized by fulminant progression and the development of multiple arrhythmias.
