A filter-passing agent producing interstitial myocarditis in anthropoid apes and small animals.
Myocarditis was diversely associated with respiratory, hepatic, muscular, gastrointestinal and/or neurological involvement.
Instead, they represented gross calcification of the mitral valve, and of the papillary muscles, as a consequence of viral myocarditis.
Isolated myocarditis as a cause of sudden death in the first year of life.
One of our patients with acute myocarditis recovered without transplantation after 7 days ofsupport.
Macroscopically, the evidence in favour of myocarditis is not specific and is inconstant.
Another 19% had pericardial effusion or valvular regurgitation. 2 patients had myocarditis.
These areas of focal myocarditis were present in the entire myocardium, ventricular as well as septal and atrial.
