AB  - Myocarditis  is  a  pathologic  process  characterized  by  inflammation  of  the  myocardium  leading  to  cellular  necrosis  and  myocardial  dysfunction.  Although  often  thought  of  as  a  viral  or  post-viral  process,  causes  of  myocarditis  are  numerous  and  include  infectious  (viral,  bacterial,  fungi,  yeast,  rickettsial,  protozoal,  and  parasitic)  as  well  as  non-infectious  (toxins,  drugs,  autoimmune  diseases,  and  Kawasaki  disease)  etiologies.
