How do you get lymphocytic myocarditis is it an infection?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Complicates "cold": Many cases of lymphocytic myocarditis are probably caused by the coxsackie virus, which produces mild viral illnesses most of the time. Some people, for unknown reasons, have it travel to the heart, or it may excite an immune response. South of the border, lymphocytic myocarditis is often chagas' trypanosomiasis.

No: It is usually the immune system's response to something that goes haywire.
