I think one giveaway in this question for Adenovirus versus Coxsackie virus is the shortness of breath when lying down (orthopnea). That can be a sign of dilated cardiomyopathy, which is most common after viral myocarditis with Coxsackie B infection (as per Sketchy).
picorna( coxsackie ) is more common than adenovirus but both can caause viral myocarditis
What makes this coxsackie virus over Adenovirus? Both cause myocarditis which would be seen on autopsy? Is it just more common to get coxsackie?

Most important cause of viral myocarditis is Coxsackie (picornavirus).
