Figure 2 A: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with typical hyperenhancement in the anterolateral left ventricular (LV) wall and anterior right ventricular (RV) wall after contrast agent application. B: Phosphoglucomutase (PGM)-1 staining: PGM-1, a clone of CD68, a specific marker for macrophages. Brown cells represent an interstitial infiltration of macrophages with an increase in number of cells. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining: no signs of necrosis or myocytolysis. C: Blood slide with two typical virocytes. D: Fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis with reduced interferon (IFN)-gamma reaction and overactive interleukin (IL)-4 response.
