Parvovirus B19-induced vascular damage in the heart is associated with elevated circulating endothelial microparticles.

Parvovirus B19-induced vascular damage in the heart is associated with elevated circulating endothelial microparticles.

Diagnosis of viral myocarditis is difficult by clinical criteria but facilitated by detection of inflammation and viral genomes in endomyocardial biopsies. Parvovirus B19 (B19V) targets endothelial cells where viral nucleic acid is exclusively detected in the heart. Microparticles (MPs) are released...
