| Abstrakt: | A 23-year-old man with sickle cell disease treated with splenectomy and allogenic stem cell transplantation presented with recurrent chest pain, elevated cardiac enzymes, and unremarkable electrocardiography. His work-up revealed eosinophilia, raising concern for eosinophilic myocarditis. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed patchy late gadolinium enhancement of the left ventricular free wall, suggestive of myocarditis. He was treated with high-dose intravenous steroids followed by oral prednisone, with improvement in his symptoms and eosinophilia and a decrease in cardiac enhancement on follow-up imaging.
