| Summary: | Dengue has been a major problem as endemic occurs almost every year and causes a state of panic due to lack of proper diagnostic
methods and facilities for proper management. Patients presenting with classical symptoms are easy to diagnose, however as a large
number of cases occur every year, a number of cases diagnosed with dengue fever on occasion presents with atypical manifestations,
which cause extensive evaluation of the patients, unnecessary referral to higher centre irrespective of the severity and therefore a rough
idea of these manifestations must be present in the backdrop in order to prevent these problems. Involvement of cardiovascular system
in dengue has been reported in previous studies, and they are usually benign and self-limited. The importance of study of conduction
abnormalities is important as sometimes conduction blocks are the first sign of acute myocarditis in patients of Dengue Hemorrhagic
Fever in shock. We present here a case of 2nd Degree Mobitz Type II atrioventricular AV block in a case of Dengue Hemorrhagic fever
reverting to the normal rhythm in recovery phase and no signs thereafter on follow up. |
