title: Disseminated coxsackievirus B fulminant myocarditis in an immunocompetent adult: a case report: case of disseminated coxsackievirus myocarditis.
abstract: Coxsackieviral myocarditis is associated with systemic involvement in neonates; however, fulminant coxsackieviral myocarditis is rare in adults, and its dissemination with fatal myocarditis involving kidneys, liver, and adrenal is further rarely reported. We report a case of fulminant myocarditis along with dissemination of coxsackievirus, which was clinically unrecognized.
