Fatal parvovirus B19 myocarditis in children and possible dysimmune mechanism
Pediatr Infect Dis J.
2012 Apr.
Abstract
We report 2 cases of previously healthy children, who developed, after a common parvovirus B19 infection, a sudden inflammatory response, involving predominantly T cell, directed against myocardium and leading to fatal outcome. These cases and several published case reports further our understanding of fulminating parvovirus myocarditis in children.
