The World Health Organization (WHO) is currently investigating an unusual rise in severe myocarditis cases among newborns and infants in the United Kingdom.
“Although enterovirus infections are common in neonates and young infants, the reported increase in myocarditis with severe outcomes in neonates and infants associated with enterovirus infection is unusual,” the WHO reported.

Myocarditis is a heart inflammation commonly caused by viral infections, including those caused by enteroviruses. Dr. Shamez Ladhani, a consultant pediatrician at the U.K. Health Security Agency (UKHSA) explained that enteroviruses, commonly seen as childhood infections, often result in hand, foot and mouth disease or viral meningitis.
According to the report, 15 newborns and infants presented symptoms consistent with neonatal sepsis between June 2022 and March 2023 in South Wales (10 cases) and Southwest England (five cases). Of these cases, eight required intensive care treatment and one died before being transferred to tertiary care.
In all cases alive at presentation, myocarditis was a presenting feature. The peak incidence of cases was in November 2022 with five. Interestingly, only one similar case has been identified over the previous six years in the South Wales region.
The WHO has warned healthcare professionals about the potential asymptomatic nature of enterovirus infections. It recommends testing for enteroviruses in suspected cases to aid in early detection and appropriate management.
Health agencies still refuse to link COVID-19 vaccines to myocarditis
In response to the surge of myocarditis cases, the UKHSA addressed the issue and its possible relation to the COVID-19 vaccine. The agency explicitly denied any connection between the two, stating that global studies have found no evidence of an increased risk of myocarditis in infants born to mothers who received the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy.
