Abstract

Myocarditis, a masquerader of common illnesses, presents with non-specific symptoms which are often missed by clinicians. The diagnosis is made based on clinical presentation and echocardiography findings and requires a high degree of clinical suspicion. The authors report seven children with myocarditis with review of spectrum of clinical presentation and management.
