Why the study?
Do cardiac biomarkers (cTn I and CK-MB) diagnose FMD-related myocarditis and predict fatal outcomes in FMDV-infected calves?
Population
Egyptian cattle/calves presenting with mouth lesions and ropy salivation and healthy control cases.
Comparison
Measurement of serum cardiac troponin1 and… vs Healthy control cases

Identifies FMDV serotypes A and O in Egyptian cattle; leaves open optimal local vaccination and outbreak control strategies.
Do cardiac biomarkers (cTn I and CK-MB) diagnose FMD-related myocarditis and predict fatal outcomes in FMDV-infected calves?
Serum cTn-I successfully diagnoses FMD-associated myocarditis in calves but is not prognostic for fatal cases.
Sobhy et al. (2018) studied this question.
