Intramyocardial inflammation and SARS-CoV-2 RNA in endomyocardial biopsy. Representative image of immunohistochemical staining for the assessment of inflammation in a SARS-CoV-2-positive endomyocardial biopsy specimen and qualitative gel blot image of a SARS-CoV-2 genome PCR amplicon. (A) Arrows indicate increased CD45R0+ T memory cells (96.15 cells/mm2) (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark). Immunohistochemical staining was quantified by digital image analysis. Magnification 200×. (B) Representative agarose gel electrophoresis gel blot image of a SARS-CoV-2 amplicon (78 bp) from quantitative SARS-CoV-2 E-gene specific RT-qPCR (TIB Molbiol, Berlin, Germany). The dimensions of the marker bands in base pairs are shown in lane 1. Lane 1 = molecular weight standard, lane 2 = patient, lane 3 = negative control.
