Key result
SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with fatal fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis in a previously healthy 17-year-old male.
Why the study?
Cardiac damage in SARS-CoV-2 was typically diagnosed via enzyme elevations, and references to accompanying cardiomyopathies lacked histologic confirmation.

SARS-CoV-2 infection can be associated with fatal fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis even in young, previously healthy patients.
Craver et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Eosinophilic Myocarditis and SARS-CoV-2 (n=1). SARS-CoV-2 infection was evaluated on Autopsy findings. SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with fatal fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis in a previously healthy 17-year-old male.
