| Abstrakt: | Influenza, typically recognized as a respiratory ailment, can manifest severe cardiac complications, notably, myocarditis and pericarditis, with potential fatal outcomes. Interestingly, influenza B demonstrates a reduced occurrence of troponin I elevation despite the risk of cardiac issues, such as isolated pericarditis. Interpreting the absence of troponin elevation as an indication of no cardiac involvement in cases of influenza B-related pericarditis may be contributing to poorer clinical outcomes. This trend may stem from the cellular tropism and unique affinity of certain influenza strains for pericardial cells rather than myocardiocytes. A thorough grasp of troponin dynamics in influenza is pivotal for customizing approaches aimed at improving clinical outcomes in myopericarditis cases.
