This article aims to elucidate viral myocarditis in neonates, focusing on a case involving Coxsackie virus, in order to enhance early detection and treatment, and, therefore, mitigating the substantial morbidity and mortality associated with this condition. Our study details the clinical course of a female newborn with Coxsackievirus-induced myocarditis, who underwent diagnostic modalities such as echocardiogram, cardiac magnetic resonance, and serial biomarker analysis, all of which allowed us to outline the disease's natural progression and its response to intervention over time. Based on a literature review we identified 6 similar cases, spanning from 1962 to 2022. In this analysis we assessed clinical presentation, diagnostic methodologies, treatment strategies, and prognostic outcomes, drawing comparisons between our case and reported instances. The objective is to highlight optimal clinical practices for managing this pathology effectively. Furthermore, we approach the pivotal role of early diagnosis and its impact on disease prognosis. We emphasize that, though rare, viral myocarditis in neonates can lead to a high rate of mortality, which is why a prompt diagnosis and an appropriate intervention are imperative to improve the outcome.
