A Case of Lyme Carditis Presenting with Atrial Fibrillation

الملخص EN

We report a case of a 20-year-old man who presented to our institution with a new arrhythmia on a routine EKG.

Serial EKG tracings revealed various abnormal rhythms such as episodes of atrial fibrillation, profound first degree AV block, and type I second degree AV block.

He was found to have positive serologies for Borrelia burgdorferi.

After initiation of antibiotic therapy, the atrial arrhythmias and AV block resolved.

Here, we present a case of Lyme carditis presenting with atrial fibrillation, a highly unusual presentation of Lyme carditis.
