Four cases of myocardial infarction caused by Capnocytophaga canimorsus had been reported and coronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries in 3 cases. Herein, we report a case of documented acute myocarditis associated with Capnocytophaga canimorsus infection. Myocarditis was demonstrated by comprehensive CMR revealing all established diagnostic criteria. Acute myocarditis should be ruled out in patients with Capnocytophaga canimorsus infection and a clinical presentation of "acute myocardial infarction", especially in those with unobstructed coronary arteries.
