Non-typhoidal salmonella (NTS) is a rare, but well-established cause of myopericarditis. Presenting symptoms may be varied, however often revolve around the dual presentation of both myopericarditis and infectious diarrhoea. Given the rarity of NTS related myopericarditis, we conducted a systematic review of the literature, identifying 41 previously reported cases.
