title: Rubella myocarditis in a 9-year-old patient.
abstract: A 9-year-old male with myocarditis is described. A greater than four-fold rise in titers against rubella with a subsequent fall supports the conclusion that his myocarditis was associated with rubella infection. Other than neonates, rubella myocarditis has been reported previously in only six patients, one of whom was a child.
