[Diagnosis of non-typical myocarditis by applying immunohistochemical method of CD68].
OBJECTIVE
To make a distinction between myocarditis and the reaction to some pathological state of myocardium.


METHODS
Myocardium of 26 cases with sudden cardiac death were stained and LM light microscopies with immunohistochemical method 10 cases with normal myocardium were contrasted.


RESULTS
A great deal of stained positive monocyte of immunohistochemistry emerged in the parasetions of myocarditis patients with various farms and stacking(> 15).


CONCLUSIONS
The stain of immunohistochemistry can be used as one of the indications for diagnosing non-typical myocarditis.
