Myocardial changes in influenza virus and staphylococcus infection.
Experiments carried out on 134 newborn mice showed that influenza virus and staphylococcus infection and their combination induces local necrosis in the myocardium. Morphometric measurement has shown that the extent of necrotic changes amounted with the action of the influenza virus to 1.37%, with the action of staphylococcus to 1.4% and with their combined action to 1.8%. Electron microscopy revealed dystrophic changes in cardiomyocytes with subsequent intracellular regeneration.
