A brief review of the literature on acute isolated myocarditis is presented. The age incidence of reported cases is predominantly in two groups, adults and infants or children under the age of three years. A case of a 10 year old child who ran a rapid, six day course terminating in death is reported with postmortem findings. Diagnosis of acute isolated myocarditis may be suspected clinically but can be made with finality only with postmortem examination.
