Dengue fever is a one of the most prevalent viral diseases transmitted by
mosquitoes and may cause cardiac abnormalities such as AV blocks and
ectopic ventricular beats. Atrial fibrillation, however, is not common. We
report a case of an 81 year old female without any structural heart disease
or comorbids, who presented with symptoms of atrial fibrillation 2 days
after being diagnosed with Dengue fever. Rate controlling agents were
given and a normal sinus rhythm was spontaneously achieved, which she
maintained even on follow up 2 weeks later.
