Abstract :
Brugada syndrome (BS) is a rare condition characterized by ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads. It is associated with ventricular arrhythmias, and is responsible for 20% of sudden cardiac deaths (SCD). Fever can induce Brugada-like electrocardiographic (ECG) changes and precipitate ventricular fibrillation (VF). We would like to discuss a case of 31-year-old male who developed hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy.
