Myocarditis is a serious manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus. It is reported that 5-10% of the patients
present symptomatic myocarditis. However, myocarditis in mixed connective tissue disease is uncommon. Only a
few cases with mixed connective tissue disease patients who presented symptomatic myocarditis were reported.
We herein describe a patient with mixed connective tissue disease who developed acute myocarditis and responded
rapidly to steroids. Physician should be aware of myocarditis as one of the serious complications of mixed connective
tissue disease.
