The clinical picture of myocarditis was studied in 72 patients with toxoplasmic infection and in 44 patients not suffering from this infection. Comparison of the clinical signs of myocarditis in these two groups showed that myocarditis of toxoplasmic etiology has no characteristic features. The only distinction between these two groups was the different frequency of various symptoms. In view of this, methods of laboratory diagnosis of toxoplasmosis acquire much significance.
