Eosinophilic-lymphocytic myocarditis after smallpox vaccination
Abstract
Smallpox is an eradicated viral disease that has re-emerged as a potential bioterrorism threat. Smallpox vaccination was historically the most effective defence measure against wild smallpox virus. The risk of myopericarditis after vaccination might limit this option.
