A myocarditis model of Balb/c mice established by means of coxsackie virus type B3 was treated with the Minor Bupleurum Decoction. The results indicate that the decoction can regulate T lymphocyte subsets, influence anti-cardiac antibody production, help the organism to get clear of viruses, and thus plays an important role in treating viral myocarditis.
