Studies on the Experimental Myocarditis Due to Myoglobin (III) : allergic changes in cardiac tissue and the other organs caused by myoglobinantibodies in rice-illness

Abstract

I have already published that allergic myocarditis and allergic changes in the other organs is caused due to the sensitization with chickens mb in rice-illness, and mb of chicken suffering from rice-illness obtains autoantigenicity, producing thereby autoantibodies. Therefore, I assert that allergic myocarditis and myocardial damage due to mb was considered to make an important factor for the pathogenesis of beriberi heart.
