    Author: Perles Z, Nir A, Cohen E, Bashary A, Engelhard D.
    Journal: Pediatr Cardiol; 2000; 21(3):282-3. PubMed ID: 10818196.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 4.5-year-old girl who presented with severe febrile throat infection and who, after a few days, developed ventricular tachycardia followed by atrioventricular block. Although a pacemaker was inserted, she died of cardiogenic shock. Throat cultures were positive for Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
