AbstractWe report two cases of myocardial infarction, in young HIV positive patients seen in the Emergency Department. These patients were under treatments: for one, an association of nucleosidic inhibitors, and for the other one, the combination of nucleosic analogue inhibitor with a non nucleosic analogue; in the last case, the patient underwent, few months before, a treatment containing a protease inhibitor. In both cases, the pain wasn't typical and didn't refer to a coronary heart disease. Lipid tests were normal. The diagnosis has been made quickly and allows a coronary angioplasty with a favourable issue. Authors are arguing the characteristics of this cardiac pathology, recently discovered in HIV positive patients, and do insist on the need to think at a coronary heart disease in front of any chest pain symptom even unusual.
