Implication

Neonatal blood RT-PCR plus maternal seroconversion may aid congenital myocarditis diagnosis; leaves open confirmation of in utero transmission.

Structured PICO

Population

Neonate with congenital myocarditis and the mother

Intervention

RT-PCR assay for enterovirus RNA detection and sequencing; serology for enterovirus IgM

Outcome

Detection and typing of enterovirus

Neonatal blood is a valuable specimen for enterovirus diagnosis by RT-PCR, and maternal seroconversion can support the diagnosis of in utero transmission of congenital myocarditis.
