摘要：
No randomized, placebo-controlled studies have investigated interferon-alpha therapy in enterovirus-proven myocarditis. This report describes 2 patients with enterovirus-induced myocarditis (1 with associated Churg-Strauss syndrome) who at follow-up endomyocardial biopsy showed clinical and hemodynamic improvement and viral clearance (using polymerase chain reaction) after interferon-alpha therapy.
