  1. Serology results for known virological, bacteriological and parasitological causes of myocarditis based on samples taken at the screening visit, on day 17, and 35 after CHMI (C + 17 and C + 35, respectively). Paired serologic analysis was performed with serum drawn at the screening visit (three weeks before the start of the trial) for a number of pathogens. To detect potential delayed immune responses serologic analysis was repeated on day C + 35. Again, paired serologic analysis was performed with serum drawn on day C + 17 for a number of pathogens.
