  • Title: Fatal parvovirus B19 myocarditis in children and possible dysimmune mechanism.
    Author: Koehl B, Oualha M, Lesage F, Rambaud C, Canioni D, Hubert P, Leruez-Ville M.
    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2012 Apr; 31(4):418-21. PubMed ID: 22173134.
    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.
