Beschreibungen/Notizen

• All 4 children had a positive rapid influenza enzyme immunoassay test result from a nasopharyngeal swab sample that was subsequently confirmed as H1N1 by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction performed at the San Diego County Department of Health (Fig. 1A). Two children required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support with gradual improvement of the ventricular systolic function over a 1-week period (Figs. 1E and 1F), which is typically observed in patients with fulminant myocarditis (2).
