What Is Myocarditis?

3. Viruses
Viruses are another microscopic threat they can be a real danger to us. They are not usually considered to be a form of life, and are little more than a tiny package of DNA or RNA. They are unable to reproduce by themselves, and they need to hijack the cells of living creatures in order to do so.
Some viral diseases are relatively mild, and some are responsible for the common cold. Others, however, can pose a very real threat to our lives. Some can cause myocarditis, and these include the Hep B virus, the herpes simplex virus, and the parvovirus. The Epstein-Barr virus, rubella, and echoviruses can also cause the infection.
