Causes of fulminant myocarditis

Fulminant myocarditis is an acute infectious disease caused by viral infection, which may be related to viral infection, age factors, immune factors, etc.

1. Viral infection with

certain viruses such as coxsackie A virus, enterovirus 71, etc. can be transmitted through blood or body fluids, resulting in damage to the immune system, causing fulminant myocarditis.

2. Age factors

Children and adolescents are usually more prone to fulminant myocarditis than adults, which may be related to their immune system not fully developed and more susceptible to infection by pathogenic bacteria.

3. Immune factors

If there are abnormalities in the immune system, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, Kawasaki disease and other diseases, it can lead to an increased risk of fulminant myocarditis.
