We assessed Enterovirus (EV) &Parvovirus B19 (PVB19) genomes and CD3, CD68&HLA‐DR detection in dilated cardiomyopathies (DCM). EV&PVB19 genomes and CD3, CD68&HLA‐DR were detected by PCR and immunohistochemistry assays in 115 endomyocardial biopsies obtained in 13 idiopathic DCM (iDCM) and 10 explained DCM (eDCM) patients. Results were compared with those of 47 atrial surgical samples (47 surgery controls) and 22 autoptic cardiac samples (11 healthy heart controls) (2008–2014, Reims, France). EV was detected in 23.1% of iDCM patients but not in eDCM and controls ( P = 0.003) (viral load 803 copies/μg). PVB19 was detected in 76.9%, 80.0%, 63.6% and 78.2% of iDCM, eDCM, healthy heart and surgery controls ( P = 0.99) with a mean viral load of 413, 346, 1,428, and 71 copies/μg. CD3, CD68 or HLA‐DR were detected in 100 and 50% of EV and PVB19 “mono‐infected” iDCM patients. EV was exclusively detected in iDCM cases in association with CD3, CD68, or HLA‐DR indicating that EV could be an etiological cause in a subset of iDCM cases. By contrast the equal frequent detection of PVB19 in iDCM cases and controls without association with CD3, CD68, or HLA‐DR suggested that PVB19 could be a bystander in many DCM cases. J. Med.
