Case-Control
This study aims to clarify the significance of adenovirus, enterovirus, and parvovirus B19 as causes of myocarditis in forensic autopsy material.
Viral detection in autopsy samples warrants cautious forensic interpretation; leaves open their causal role in myocarditis.
Multiple viruses have been detected in cardiac tissue, but their role in causing myocarditis remains controversial. Viral diagnostics are increasingly used in forensic medicine, but the interpretation of the results can sometimes be challenging. In this study, we examined the prevalence of adenovirus, enterovirus and parvovirus B19 (PVB) in myocardial autopsy samples from myocarditis related deaths and in non-inflamed control hearts in an effort to clarify their significance as the causes of myocarditis in a forensic material.
