"Fulminant myocarditis is characterised by a severe and often diffuse inflammatory infiltrate of the myocardium 4 resulting in myocardial oedema, myocardial necrosis with the presence of damaged cardiomyocytes and cardiogenic shock 1,7. The main pathological phenotypes of fulminant myocarditis include lymphocytic, eosinophilic and giant cell myocarditis and cardiac sarcoidosis 1-4,6,8. In the setting of fulminant myocarditis, histology is not only important but also for treatment decisions and prognosis 8."
