Other unusual findings include fibrinous pleuritis, pericarditis, epicarditis (DALY et al., 2009), and severe acute necrotizing enteritis (HARWOOD et al., 2007) as well as the highly uncommon meningoencephalitis (MALONE et al., 1986; SAC, 2016).

Antiviral and myocyte protective effects of murine interferon-beta and -{Alpha}2 in coxsackievirus B3-induced myocarditis and epicarditis In Balb/C mice.

Pathological processes in the heart include mononuclear inflammatory infiltration, focal myocarditis, epicarditis, and neuroganglionitis, associated with variable focal fibrosis and a paucity of parasites, which is poorly correlated with myocardial inflammatory infiltration [2, 4].

The histopathologic diagnosis was chronic organizing fibrinous epicarditis. The liver exhibited mild-to-moderate, acute, periportal-to-random, necrotizing and heterophilic hepatitis (highly suggestive of embolic hepatitis).

Por otra parte, los hallazgos microscopicos mas comunmente descritos consisten en: lesiones hepaticas como inflamacion interlobular, nodulos tifoideos, septicemias; lesiones pulmonares como neumonia intersticial, pleuritis, abscesos; lesiones renales como, nefritis intersticial, pielonefritis; lesiones cardiacas como epicarditis y miocarditis; lesiones musculo-esqueleticas como abscesos y problemas miodegenerativos (3).

The major gross lesion was fibrinous epicarditis of the atria.

Fetal epicarditis was observed in one of the cases of B.
