Perimyocarditis and myopericarditis are inflammatory conditions of the pericardium and myocardium, often of idiopathic or infectious etiology, with viral infections being the most common. Nonrheumatic streptococcal myopericarditis (NSM) is a rare condition that can mimic acute myocardial infarction. This case report presents a 22-year-old male with no prior medical history who developed NSM following a streptococcal pharyngitis infection. The patient presented with pleuritic chest pain, tightness, and decreased exercise tolerance. Laboratory studies revealed elevated troponin levels and positive Streptococcus G antigen. Treatment included ampicillin-sulbactam, colchicine, ibuprofen, and dexamethasone. The patient's symptoms resolved, and he was discharged with amoxicillin-clavulanate, colchicine, and ibuprofen.
