Representative images of EMBs: (a) HE staining of samples from patients with acute myocarditis at baseline, (b) immunohistochemical staining of extremely increased CD3 positive T-lymphocytes in acute myocarditis at baseline, (c) immunohistochemical staining of CD3 positive T-lymphocytes in patients without inflammation at followup, and (d) increased CD3 positive T-lymphocytes in patients with proof of inflammation at followup (magnification 200×).
