Two cases of myocarditis, who had suffered from ventricular extrasystole, leucocytosis and elevated serum enzyme for a long period died from congestive heart failure and/or arrhythmias.

One case of virus pericarditis had 5 recurrences over a five-year period. He suffered from dyspnea, chest oppression and general fatigue at each recurrence.
