摘要
We describe a case of a previously healthy adolescent who presented with junctional tachycardia and complete atrioventricular (AV) block due to Lyme carditis. The simultaneous presence of these findings suggested sig-nificant inflammation of the AV junction. Junctional tachycardia, particularly if seen in a patient with con-duction abnormalities and potential tick exposure, should increase suspicion for Lyme carditis.
