Atrioventricular block in a toxic child: do not forget diphtheria.

Z Perles1, A Nir, E Cohen, A Bashary, D Engelhard.   

Abstract

We describe a 4.5-year-old girl who presented with severe febrile throat infection and who, after a few days, developed ventricular tachycardia followed by atrioventricular block. Although a pacemaker was inserted, she died of cardiogenic shock. Throat cultures were positive for Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
