Editing Myocarditis (section)

=== Infections ===
The most common causes of myocarditis are infectious organisms. Viral infections are the most common cause in developed countries, with a majority of cases being caused by those with single-stranded RNA genomes, such as Coxsackie viruses (especially Coxsackie B3 and B5).<ref name=":0">{{Cite book| vauthors = Marín-García J |title=Post-Genomic Cardiology|publisher=Academic Press|year=2007|isbn=978-0-12-373698-7 |pages=416|name-list-style=vanc}}</ref><ref name=":10">{{cite journal | vauthors = Rose NR | title = Viral myocarditis | journal = Current Opinion in Rheumatology | volume = 28 | issue = 4 | pages = 383–389 | date = July 2016 | pmid = 27166925 | pmc = 4948180 | doi = 10.1097/BOR.0000000000000303 }}</ref> Globally, [[Chagas disease]] is the leading cause of myocarditis, which results from infection with the [[protozoa]]n ''[[Trypanosoma cruzi]].''<ref name="Feldman" /> Bacteria can also result in myocarditis, although it is rare in patients with normal heart function and without a preexisting [[immunodeficiency]].<ref name=":11" /><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Piccirillo F, Watanabe M, Di Sciascio G | title = Diagnosis, treatment and predictors of prognosis of myocarditis.
