Active lymphocytic myocarditis was revealed in all five patients, characterized by an absence of viral genomes with PCR, positive anti-heart autoantibodies, overexpression of TLR-4 and enhancement of IL-17-A during western blot analysis, showing a 2.48-fold increase in psoriatic myocarditis compared with no psoriatic myocarditis and a six-fold increase compared to myocardial controls. Here, TLR4 is linked to myocarditis.
