ECHO viruses cause the disease mostly in childhood. The article presents a case of enteroviral (ECHO) infection complicated by pneumonia and focal myocarditis in a 41-year-old patient, hospitalized during a season of influenza and acute respiratory infections. Acute myocarditis was moderate and the patient recovered by day 23.
