ICD-10 Code B58.81 | Toxoplasma myocarditis Symptoms, Diagnosis, Billing

Common symptoms include chest pain, fatigue, palpitations, and signs of heart failure such as shortness of breath. Patients may also experience fever and general malaise.

Diagnosis typically involves clinical evaluation, ECG changes, echocardiography, and serological tests for Toxoplasma gondii antibodies.

Treatment usually involves antibiotic therapy with pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine, along with supportive care to manage symptoms and monitor cardiac function.

Toxoplasma myocarditis itself is not contagious; however, the Toxoplasma gondii parasite can be transmitted through undercooked meat, contaminated water, or cat feces.
