A member asked:
I'm scared of myocarditis, can someone help me with this. how common is it? should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uncommon: With the widespread use of vaccination in developed countries, myocarditis secondary to measles, rubella, mumps, poliomyelitis, and influenza is now rare. Similarly, the recognition of trichinellosis by meat inspection has all but eliminated this infection. Other viruses can cause it but the majority of patients recover. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
