Abstract
Influenza B is a common viral illness in childhood. We report a 5-year-old previously healthy girl admitted with facial edema that developed severe acute myocarditis from influenza B infection. As her clinical course progressed, she ultimately developed severe, acute heart failure requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for support.
