The scale of myocardial involvement in varicella myocarditis
International Journal of Cardiology
|August 1, 1988
Abstract:
Two patients with varicella myocarditis are described. An arrhythmia associated with complete recovery occurred in the first patient whereas intractable congestive heart failure complicated by hemiplegia resulted in a fatal outcome in the other case. We stress the extent of myocardial involvement produced by the herpes zoster virus in the setting of varicella.
