Human cardiac inflammatory responses triggered by Coxsackie B viruses are mainly Toll-like receptor (TLR) 8-dependent

Abstract excerpt

The group B coxsackieviruses are single-stranded RNA viruses that have been implicated in viral myocarditis. Viral infection of the myocardium, as well as the associated inflammatory response are important determinants of the virus-associated myocardial damage. Although these viruses are known as cytopathic viruses that cause death of the host cell, their viral RNA has been shown to persist in cardiac muscle...
