ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS AND THE MUMPS VIRUS

Welton M. Gersony M.D.1, Samuel L. Katz M.D.1, and Alexander S. Nadas M.D.1

Sixteen patients who fit the diagnostic criteria of endocardial fibroelastosis were investigated by means of mumps skin tests and serum assays of mumps hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies. No relationship was found between the clinical entity, endocardial fibroelastosis, and either mumps-specific antibodies or delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity to the mumps virus.
