Abstract
Objectives
Neonatal myocarditis is a rare but life-threatening complication of enterovirus infection that presents like bacterial sepsis.
Outbreak
A sudden upsurge in cases of neonatal enteroviral myocarditis, reported from South West England and South Wales between June 2022 and April 2023 has alerted health agencies to bring in counteracting measures.
Impact
In view of this outbreak situation, the World Health Organisation advisory has urged clinicians seeing neonates and infants with shock may consider myocarditis as a differential diagnosis and test for enteroviruses.
