Cardiogenic shock with complete heart block secondary to dengue myocarditis requiring temporary pacing
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 August 2021
Abstract
This case illustrates acute myocarditis with complete heart block in a 13-year-old teenager as a rare complication of acute dengue illness. He required urgent temporary pacing with inotropic support and antifailure medications. Complete heart block in dengue myocarditis is an acute but reversible condition. A similar presentation in a dengue-endemic country or with a history of travelling to tropical countries warrants a suspicion of dengue infection.
