Abstract

The purpose — to present a clinical case of diagnosing the autoimmune postinfarction syndrome (Dressler syndrome). Material and methods. The medical documentation of a patient with myocardial infarction complicated by Dressler syndrome was analyzed. Results. The clinical case presents a patient with acute extensive anterior myocardial infarction who sought medical help on the 2nd day of the disease, which may have caused the autoimmune postinfarction syndrome on the 11th day of the disease (fibrinous exudative pericarditis, focal pneumonia, eosinophilia and laboratory signs of inflammation). The patient’s low adherence to the treatment during hospitalization contributed to the subsequent development of coronavirus infection. Conclusion. The publication is of interest to cardiologists, doctors of functional and radiation diagnostics. The diagnosis of Dressler syndrome is based mainly on the results of laboratory and instrumental research methods as the onset and course of Dressler syndrome most often has a poor clinical picture.
