title: [Parainfluenza type 3 virus infection in neonates with cardiac arrhythmia].
abstract: The aim of the study was to assess the frequency of the occurrence of parainfluenza type 3 virus infection in neonates with cardiac arrhythmia. In 12 (17%) out of 70 of neonates parainfluenza type 3 virus infection was recognized basing on serologic hemagglutinin inhibition test. Ten of them were diagnosed with mild course of myocarditis. Among 12 neonates infected with parainfluenza type 3 virus supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmia was observed in 5 and mild periodical bradycardia was diagnosed. None of the neonates were treated with antiarrhythmic medications. The authors would like to point out that interpretation of the serologic tests in neonates are difficult.
