摘要: Among 38 hearts from autopsies in which lymphocytic myocarditis contributed to death, 10 endomyocardial specimens the apical septal aspect of each ventricle (760 specimens) and 6 slices ventricular myocardium (228 slices) were evaluated for by Dallas criteria. For case, number positive biopsy samples correlated well with mean lymphocyte counts tissues (P
