Influenza is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Myocarditis is a rare complication of the virus and can vary widely in severity. The published cases of influenza B myocarditis in children tend to be severe with a high mortality rate. Current standard treatment of viral myocarditis is supportive care, although immunomodulatory therapies, such as steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin, are often used. T cells have been implicated in causing significant myocyte damage in myocarditis by leading to the downstream production of antibodies against viral and myocyte antigens; this has created a theoretical basis for the use of antithymocyte globulin to target T cells in these patients. We present a case of acute fulminant influenza B myocarditis in a pediatric patient that required mechanical circulatory support and improved only after treatment with antithymocyte globulin.

Influenza is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, with 3 to 5 million cases reported annually.1 The 2017–2018 season has been especially devastating, with >195 000 people infected in the United States at the time of this writing and mortality above epidemic thresholds. Specifically, there have been 128 pediatric deaths, a higher total than that in recent years.2
Influenza myocarditis is a rare complication of the influenza virus, seen in ∼10% of patients.1 Cardiac manifestations can vary from mild changes on electrocardiogram (ECG) to profound hemodynamic compromise. Symptoms, such as chest pain, dyspnea, or palpitations, typically begin 4 to 7 days after viral symptoms.1 There have been few reported cases of influenza B myocarditis in children. Although skewed by publication bias, the majority of reported cases required inotropic support, and approximately half of patients did not survive.3
Given the lack of definitive data, there is no agreed on standard treatment of myocarditis. Controlled studies in the management of myocarditis in children are limited by the rarity of cases and difficulty in establishing a definitive diagnosis. Immunomodulatory therapies, such as steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), have become widely used for the treatment of viral myocarditis in children, and immunosuppressive medications (such as cyclosporine), which are less widely used, have been examined in few studies.4 There have been few large studies in which the efficacy of these medications are examined, but results are mixed, and there is no consensus on their appropriate use.5
Given the role played by T cells in viral myocarditis, there is a rational basis for the use of antithymocyte globulin (ATG). However, there have been no published cases of ATG treatment in children with viral myocarditis. Few case reports have revealed ATG to be beneficial in adult patients with giant-cell myocarditis, and researchers of a case series of 5 adults reported the successful use of ATG in acute fulminant lymphocytic myocarditis.6,7 We present a case of acute fulminant influenza B myocarditis in a pediatric patient that required mechanical circulatory support and significantly improved after treatment with ATG.
We report on a 13-year-old female patient with no previous medical history who presented to a local emergency department with 2 to 3 days of upper respiratory symptoms and chest pain. Her workup was positive for influenza B by respiratory polymerase chain reaction testing and was concerning for ST segment changes on ECG and troponin elevation (peak troponin T level of 9 ng/mL). Of note, she had not been vaccinated against influenza this season. She was transferred to a tertiary center PICU where an echocardiogram revealed severely decreased biventricular function and significant pericardial effusion requiring drainage. During pericardiocentesis, she suffered cardiopulmonary arrest and was cannulated onto peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). She was treated with oseltamivir, intravenous methylprednisolone (6 doses of 500 mg twice daily followed by a taper initiated at 1.5 mg/kg per day in divided doses twice daily), and IVIg (1 dose of 2 g/kg on ECMO day 2). Cardiac function remained severely depressed, and she was transferred to our institution on ECMO day 4 for further management and a potential heart transplant evaluation.
On arrival, her ECG revealed extremely low-voltage QRS complexes with diffuse ST segment elevation (Fig 1), an echocardiogram revealed an akinetic, nondilated heart (Fig 2 A and B), and an examination was significant for absent heart tones and pulses, with no pulse pressure on the arterial line. The steroid taper was continued, but because of the lack of clinical improvement, treatment was initiated with ATG (rabbit) on ECMO day 5. The initial plan was to administer 5 consecutive daily doses of ATG at 1.5 mg/kg per dose, which is our institutional protocol for induction therapy after a heart transplant. After the first dose, ATG was held for 2 days because of lymphopenia (white blood cell count of 12 900 with 1% lymphocytes [normal: 18.2%–49.8%]). Before starting ATG, she had thrombocytopenia (platelet count of 61 000), which remained low during treatment. She required multiple transfusions to maintain her platelet count at >80 000 as per our institutional ECMO protocol. ATG was then continued on ECMO day 8 once her lymphopenia improved. In total, she received 5 doses over 7 days with a cumulative dose of 6 mg/kg. A second 2 g/kg dose of IVIg was given while ATG was held.

B, M-mode images on admission reveal almost no ventricular wall motion. C, M-mode images 1 week after discharge reveal improved ventricular wall motion and ejection fraction. LV, left ventricular.
Echocardiograms were performed daily on ECMO, and cardiac motion was first noted on ECMO day 8 (3 days after the first ATG dose). The following day, the aortic valve began opening, generating a pulse pressure and faint peripheral pulses. Over the span of 1 week, milrinone was added, and cardiac function continued to improve. A T-cell panel on the first day of ventricular function improvement revealed 129 CD3+ T cells per μL (normal: 1000–2200 cells per μL), with CD4+ and CD8+ cells both significantly below the normal ranges. The T-cell count, which decreased throughout the ATG course, reached a minimum of 9 T cells per μL after the fourth ATG dose. She underwent a successful ECMO decannulation on ECMO day 14 while on milrinone and epinephrine. After decannulation, she was transitioned to oral anticongestive therapies. A brain MRI was performed before discharge for prognostication after her cardiac arrest, which revealed a subacute right basal ganglia ischemic stroke and a right frontal subdural hematoma. Clinically, her neurologic examination was significant only for slightly decreased left-sided muscle strength (4+ to 5).
She was discharged on hospital day 32 on lisinopril, digoxin, and carvedilol with follow-up by the cardiology and neurology departments. The echocardiogram at discharge revealed moderately diminished left ventricular function (left ventricular ejection fraction of 39% [normal: >55%]) and mildly diminished right ventricular function without ventricular dilation. Since discharge, her oral anticongestives have been optimized, her T-cell count has seen an uptrend to 837 cells per μL, and she continues to improve clinically. One week after discharge, an echocardiogram revealed a left ventricular ejection fraction of 42% (Fig 2C).
This is the first case in which the use of ATG in a pediatric patient with acute fulminant viral myocarditis is reported. After receiving high-dose steroids, IVIg, and mechanical circulatory support (allowing for myocardial rest), the heart continued to be akinetic. Therefore, while pursuing a transplant workup, a course of ATG was initiated, after which cardiac function began to gradually improve. The choice to use ATG was based on the fulminant nature of the case, the lack of any cardiac improvement after initial immunomodulatory therapies, and the role played by T cells in myocyte injury in myocarditis. Our institution has similarly used ATG in a previous refractory myocarditis case with similar success.
Research suggests that the mechanism of cardiac injury in viral myocarditis occurs in 3 distinct phases. The virus enters myocytes and activates the innate immune response. It then replicates, leading to myocyte necrosis and the exposure of intracellular antigens, which causes the initiation of an inflammatory cascade. In phase 2 (occurring from day 7 to day 28 of infection), T cells play a major role in myocyte injury via the downstream creation of antibodies against viral and cardiac antigens and the production of cytokines. Phase 3 is either the recovery phase (during which the inflammation subsides) or the progression to cardiomyopathy.8 A mouse model has revealed that T cell–deprived mice (via thymectomy and bone marrow irradiation and transplant) or those given ATG have a significantly lower incidence of lethal myocarditis and a lesser extent of myocyte inflammation and necrosis.9 Other studies implicate CD4 and CD8 T cells in myocyte damage and reveal a protective role played by T regulatory cells.10
Bone marrow suppression resulting in thrombocytopenia and leukopenia is a known side effect of ATG.11 Our patient experienced both thrombocytopenia and lymphopenia. Thrombocytopenia, which can be a consequence of the ECMO circuit itself, can manifest as minor bleeding at cannula sites or the mucosa or as more serious bleeding, such as central nervous system bleeding. This had particular implications for our patient, and she required multiple platelet transfusions to maintain adequate platelet counts to prevent these complications. Leukopenia is usually dose dependent and reversible, as it was in this case. Our patient did not manifest any other side effects, which include urinary tract infection, abdominal pain, hypertension, nausea, shortness of breath, fever, anxiety, chills, and hyperkalemia. Less common side effects include anaphylaxis, infusion rate–related cytokine release, infections (in particular, reactivation of cytomegalovirus), and in rare cases, malignancy.11
Although the dramatic response to ATG in our patient was impressive, there are limitations to consider. There is no standard expected recovery time in cases of fulminant myocarditis. Rajagopal et al12 published retrospective outcomes in 255 children who required ECMO for acute myocarditis. They found no significant difference in the length of ECMO support between those who survived (168 hours) and those who did not survive (172 hours), and both groups demonstrated significant variability.12 Our patient began to improve on ECMO day 8 (>192 hours) and was decannulated on ECMO day 14, which was longer than the average for either group. It is impossible to know if myocardial function would have improved without receiving ATG, and it is difficult to assess the role played by the other immunomodulators.
Additionally, our patient had polymerase chain reaction secretions positive for influenza B, which was the presumed cause of her myocarditis. However, an endomyocardial biopsy (the gold standard for diagnosis) was not performed. Our confidence in the diagnosis was high, and her fragile hemodynamic status made the risks of this procedure substantial. Furthermore, a biopsy result would not have altered management and thus was not pursued, leaving us without a definitive pathologic diagnosis.
Despite these limitations, this case reveals the potential safety and efficacy of ATG in a severe case of acute viral myocarditis in a pediatric patient. ATG was well tolerated with minimal reversible side effects, revealing that it may be used safely in this population. Future research in children with fulminant refractory myocarditis may further elucidate its benefits in these patients. After this past influenza season (with higher than usual morbidity and mortality), we want to highlight this case of severe influenza B myocarditis and the novel use of ATG as a contributor to dramatic improvement.

Federal Election Comm'n v. Cruz
When a candidate for federal office lends money to his own election campaign, federal law imposes a $250,000 limit on the amount of post-election contributions that the campaign may use to repay the debt owed to the candidate. 52 U.S.C. 30116( j). That law is aimed at contributions that pose an obvious risk of fostering real or perceived corruption because they go directly into an officeholder's pocket.
Senator Ted Cruz filed a lawsuit challenging the law on the theory that it violates the First Amendment. After Cruz prevailed before a three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the Federal Election Commission appealed to the Supreme Court. Public Citizen filed an amicus curiae brief supporting the FEC.
As our amicus brief explains, the $250,000 limit serves as a constitutional check on actual or perceived corruption because it applies to contributions that have minimal First Amendment value and maximal corruptive potential: those that go straight into the pocket of an officeholder who has already won an election. However, although Senator Cruz made a $260,000 loan to his campaign in the last hours of the 2018 election campaign, his committee repaid $250,000 of that loan using pre-election contributions, leaving a balance of only $10,000—an amount far below the statutory limit on post-election contributions. The statutory contribution limit thus does not interfere in any way with his ability to raise $10,000. Accordingly, Senator Cruz lacks standing to raise his constitutional challenge. The brief explains that the Court therefore should not reach the merits of the statutory limit on post-election contributions used to repay candidate loans, unless and until it is presented with a case in which that limit actually has operated, or threatens to operate, to restrict a candidate's ability to raise funds to repay a loan.
On May 16, 2022, the Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the three-judge court. The Court's standing analysis agreed with two points made in our brief: First, Cruz's claimed injury was not "self-inflicted," because people challenging statutes on First Amendment grounds may choose to bring test cases that subject them to the statutes' proscriptions, and they have standing to do so even though they chose to engage in the conduct at issue specifically to challenge the statute. Second, Cruz's claimed injury did not come from the statute itself, but from a regulation that prevented him from seeking post-election contributions for the remaining $10,000 even though the statute itself did not do so. However, the Court held that because the FEC had invoked the challenged statute as its authority when it promulgated the regulation, Cruz could challenge the constitutionality of the statute to redress the injury caused by its implementing regulation. Having concluded that Cruz had standing on this basis, the Court affirmed on the merits, holding that post-election contributions to repay a candidate's large loans to his campaign do not pose a risk of corruption because the contributions (like all other contributions to the campaign) will be limited to $2900 per contributor per elections, an amount that the Court said was unlikely to pose a threat of corruption.

Bath and East Somerset Council will improve purchase-to-pay efficiency by implementing an intelligent data capture solution from document management and imaging company, Version One. This solution, DbCapture, is being piloted in one of the Council's largest departments in April 2012 with full go-live expected by October 2012.
Version One's DbCapture, which will be integrated into the Council's Agresso Business World enterprise resource planning (ERP) system from UNIT4, will automatically capture 70% of data from 50,000 purchase invoices processed by the Council every year. The implementation forms part of a wider project to standardise, streamline and centralise the Council's financial processes.
Version One's DbCapture uses optical character recognition (OCR) technology to automatically capture data from scanned purchase invoices, significantly reducing manual data entry. This data is verified against the ERP system with any data discrepancies instantly flagged-up to the user. The invoice data is subsequently uploaded to Agresso Business World.
Bath and North East Somerset is a unitary authority that was created in April 1996 following the abolition of the County of Avon.
