The viral myocarditis is the most common cause of heart failure in previously healthy children. We herewith present an adolescent girl admitted with acute myocarditis findings, heart failure and arrhythmia.  Cardiological studies verified the diagnosis and patient received intravenous immuneglobuline solution in addition to supportive therapy. Her clinical picture was finally attributed to unicteric hepatitis A virus infection.
