Abstract

On 9 April, headline news in a local newspaper in Crete reported the death of a previously healthy 45 year old woman in Heraklion. The death, which occurred on 5 April, was associated with myocarditis after upper respiratory tract infection. A second death (13 April) of a 48-year old woman from eastern Crete with similar symptoms was also headline news.
