Core Tip	We report a rare case of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-induced myocarditis in a 26-day-old neonate initially diagnosed with bronchiolitis. Early cardiac evaluation revealed elevated t troponin levels, a reduced ejection fraction, and mitral regurgitation. Multimodal management—including corticosteroids, L-carnitine, vitamin D, and conventional cardiac therapies—led to full recovery. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of RSV myocarditis in neonates and emphasizes the potential value of adjunctive therapies targeting immune modulation and mitochondrial support. Early recognition and a personalized approach may improve outcomes in this under diagnosed complication of RSV infection.
