Abstract
Four patients who developed acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the setting of systemic febrile illness are described. They were all treated with anticoagulants or lytic agents (or both), demonstrating patent coronary arteries following infarction. We discuss the pathogenesis and therapeutic implications of AMI occurring in this setting.
