In view of our altered concept of the incidence of myocarditis in other diseases, a detailed histologic study of the myocardium in instances of pneumonia is indicated.In the following report a study is presented of hearts taken from 67 patients with pneumonia in whom the pneumonia involved at least the total of one lobe. Thus, instances of terminal bronchopneumonia or minimal pneumonia were...Bibliography1. SAPHIR O: Myocarditis; general review with analysis of 240 cases, Arch. Path., 1942, xxxiii, 88.
