Why the study?
Do different coxsackievirus B3 variants induce varying degrees of myocarditis, and how do diagnostic methods compare in detecting viral components in a murine model?
Do different coxsackievirus B3 variants induce varying degrees of myocarditis, and how do diagnostic methods compare in detecting viral components in a murine model?
Direct viral damage plays an essential role in acute murine CBV3-induced myocarditis, and PCR and immunohistochemistry are sensitive and specific diagnostic methods for detecting viral components.

Murine CBV3 variant differences do not inform human care; hypothesis-generating for viral strain effects and diagnostic method validation in clinical myocarditis.
Arola et al. (1995) studied this question.
