    Author: Bhogal N, Grady AM, Ursell PC, Collins KK, Hornberger LK.
    Journal: Congenit Heart Dis; 2008; 3(5):359-64. PubMed ID: 18837817.
    Abstract:
    A 13-month-old boy presented with acute onset of complete atrioventricular block and wide complex tachycardia but normal hemodynamics. Endomyocardial biopsy disclosed active myocarditis with eosinophils, suggesting a hypersensitivity reaction. With no treatment, the rhythm disturbance resolved within days of onset. Our patient's presentation and self-limited illness is unique. To our knowledge, this is only the second reported case of eosinophilic myocarditis in a young child or infant.
