Junctional Rhythm in a Child with Dengue Shock Syndrome

摘要

Introduction: Dengue infection has become a serious health problem. It is endemic in most countries of the South-East Asian region. In hyperendemic regions, DHF is more common in children less than 15 years of age. There have been increasing reports of DF and DHF with atypical manifestations (Expanded dengue syndrome). The spectrum of cardiac involvement varies from conduction rhythm disturbances to myocarditis causing hypotension.
