Abstract

Cardiac rhythm abnormalities have been uncommonly observed in dengue fever and most of them have been reported in children. We discuss a 30-year-old female with dengue fever, who presented with repeated symptomatic episodes of high degree atrioventricular block with ventricular asystole, which responded to intravenous atropine and oral orciprenaline without recurrence on 6 months follow-up.
