Dengue myocarditis

Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health. 2004 Sep;35(3):611-3.

Abstract

We report a 13-year-old boy who developed bradycardia and hypotension a day after recovery from dengue hemorrhagic fever. His electrocardiogram, during the bradycardia, showed a junctional rhythm with a rate of 50 beats/minute. This is the first reported case of sinus node dysfunction following dengue infection.
