    ObjectiveTo investigate the changes of cardiac T troponin (cTnT) and high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) in children with viral myocarditis (VMC).MethodsForty children with VMC were examined for cTnT, hs-CRP, and creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) levels.ResultsChildren with VMC had significantly higher cTnT, hs-CRP and CK-MB levels than the control group on admission (P<0.01), but obviously decreased after two weeks of treatment. The positivity rate of cTnT and hs-CRP were significantly higher in children with VMC than the control group on admission, and decreased significantly after treatment (P<0.01). The positivity rate of cTnT and hs-CRP were significantly higher than that of CK-MB (P<0.05).ConclusionSerum cTnT and hs-CRP are sensitive indices for diagnosis of VMC, and their detection have important value in estimation of the patients' condition.
