[|Human|] My son-in-law has a viral infection in the lungs, which triggered an astma attack which the Dr thought had triggered a mild heart attack.  Now they say he didnt have a mild heart attack.  He is now running a fever and is on antibiotics and it doesnt seem to go away.  What would be the cause of this?
[|AI|]  Hi. I am glad we connected. Based on the symptoms you have mentioned, it sounds like your son-in-law may have had viral CARITIG. This is when a viral infection causes antibodies to be formed against the cardiac muscles or against the virus in the heart. One may also develop antibodies which attack the virus and the cardiac muscle. Depending on the severity, the treatment may range from plasmapheresis, steroids, or immune suppression. It would be best to confirm the exact treatment with your doctor or immunologist. Please reach out if you have any other questions. All the best.
