Abstract: Objective To detect the Coxsackie virus B_3(CVB_3) gene in myocardium and spleen tissues in viral myocarditis(VMC) with sudden death and to explore the diagnostic method for VMC by means of seeking pathogene.Methods By in situ RT- PCR,the detection of CVB_3 gene in myocardium and spleen sections were performed in sudden death group caused by VMC and non- cardiac death group.Results In VMC group,CVB_3 gene- positive signals were seen in myocardium sections(3 out of total 8 cases, No.1,4,7 cases)and spleen sections(4 out of total 8 cases,No.2,4,6,7 cases).In non- cardiac death group,no positive signals were detected in both myocardium and spleen tissues.Conclusion Positive detection of CVB_3 gene in both myocardium and spleen maybe an important character of VMC and can improve the detecting pathogene in diagnosing VMC.
